Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
HighPriorityIntegration	Bool	If true, integrating this asset (e.g. processing procedural assets) gets higher priority than assets with this flag off. An example is user laser procedural meshes.
OverrideBoundingBox	Bool	Force the bounding box calculated from this component to use OverridenBoundingBox instead of calculating when requested.
OverridenBoundingBox	BoundingBox	the bounding box this component should say it has when OverrideBoundingBox is enabled. Useful for bounding box calculations with Flux, or changing the selection box for this component when rendered.
Profile	ColorProfile	The profile that the vertex colors for this mesh should be displayed in.
Font	FontSet	The font set to use to render the text. For example, Times new Roman, or Avali Scratch.
Text	String	The text to display. For example, "Hello world!"
ParseRichText	Bool	Whether or not to interpret text formatting tags like "<b></b>" for bold and "<i></i>" for itallic.
NullText	String	the text to display if Text is null. (Empty text doesn't count)
Size	Float	how big to render the text as.
HorizontalAlign	TextHorizontalAlignment	How to align the text horizontally.
VerticalAlign	TextVerticalAlignment	how to align the text vertically.
AlignmentMode	AlignmentMode	how to align the text within the bounding box

Materials	list of Material	what materials to render the text as. Really only works with Unlit Text Material type.
LineHeight	Float	how much space each text line should take up
Bounded	Bool	whether to restrict the text within a certain area
BoundsSize	Float2	the area to use if Bounded is enabled.
BoundsAlignment	Alignment	how to align the text to the bounds and therefore how to handle text that spills out.
MaskPattern	String	a string to replace every character in Text with when rendering. Useful for password fields.
HorizontalAutoSize	Bool	whether to scale the text to fit the bounds horizontally
VerticalAutoSize	Bool	whether to scale the text to fit the bounds vertically
CaretPosition	Int	Where the typing cursor position is within the text by character index.
SelectionStart	Int	where the selection starts if the text is being edited currently.
CaretColor	ColorX	the color of the typing cursor
SelectionColor	ColorX	the color of the typing selection.

Method Name	Method type and Arguments.	Is the method hidden?	Description
BakeMesh:Action	Action	X	Bake meshes is a sync method that creates a static mesh component with this component, replaces all references to this component with the static mesh component, then deletes this component.

Examples

Used in the "Basic" and "Outlined" text objects in the create new menu using a Dev Tool. It's also useful in making physical UI's, and for signs. Anything generally text related that can be simple.
