Click the Text button to insert a text object into the image. You will find this button on the Drawing toolbar. Note: The size of the writing in the drawing layer is fixed in relation to the size of the image. If you display an image with a 50% zoom factor, the font will be correspondingly reduced in size. The text object always lies over the same section of the image. This leads to the problem that, especially with large images, the text in the drawing layer can, depending on the zoom factor used, be difficult to read or illegible, or that a very large area of the image is covered. For large images, it's better to use the Annotations tool window.
