Display
In the Display group, you define the info stamp's appearance.
Clear the Transparent background check box, to have your info stamp highlighted by a white rectangle.
Select the check box, to have the info stamp displayed without a background. In this way, the info stamp will cover up as little image information as possible. However, this may reduce the info stamp's readability.
Choose one of 16 possible colors for the text in the info stamp, in the Text color color table. You can only choose this color when the Transparent background check box has been selected. When a background is present the text color will be automatically determined.
Enter a font size for the info stamp, in the Font size field.
Position
You can position the info stamp in any of the image window's four corners. Simply click the button that shows the position you want.
Why are some positions not available?
It can happen that one (or more) positions aren't available. In this case, the position in question is already in use for another function.
By using the View > Scale Bar command, you can, e.g., have a scale bar displayed in the image window, in addition to the info stamp. Then, the scale bar's current position can't be chosen for the info stamp. The corresponding button is gray.
