<fieldset><h1>Chapter 7: Text Viewer</h1></fieldset>
<p>
Datasets with data of type "String" are displayed in a Text Viewer window.
The Text Viewer provides a scroller for a large string dataset. Users can scroll
up or down and left or right, as needed, to view the full content of the dataset.</p>

<p>
TextView shows the text of a one-dimension text dataset in rows of text areas. For
multiple-dimension datasets, you can select one dimension to display using the "Open As" command
from the TreeView. The following figure shows that two rows of 1-D text
(dim[0] = 2) are displayed in separate text areas.</p>

<p>
You can modify the text content by typing new text in the text area. The modified
text is chopped based on the maximum length of the string dataset. A string dataset of variable length is not supported.</p>
