Scratch

Wait, is this supposed to be like the Scratch paint editor where you drag the text box, and the text moves with it?

If you wanted to do that, you'd need to constantly clear the drawing, which I'm not sure you want.

What if the end user has something already painted?

Yeah, that's why I said I'm not sure you'd want it. There's no other way of doing it in Scratch.

darn.

what if,

a draggable dot appears and a sprite in which writes goes to it's X and Y - -10. then you could move it to where you want it and write. the sprite then stamps out the letters you type. would that work?

That could work with an ask block.  Another way to do is to have multiple letter sprites that go to the correct places, but that takes up a ton of space and can only do a max amount of letters.

What if instead of just a dot there was the word preview which would show you your text size, color, position, etc.?

the dot was to move the box, like in scratch.

I know that, but there would also be the word "Preview where the text would later be stamped and it would change to the color, size, position, maybe even font of what was going to be stamped.
