Add Graphic Text to Map??

[MatthewStull]

Is it possible to create a tool to let a user add graphic text to the map in a Javascript API app?

Thanks,
Matt S.

Yes

See the TextSymbol class http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi/textsymbol.htm

Yes

See the TextSymbol class http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi/textsymbol.htm

And here's a link to an old blog post that talks about working with the text symbol:

Thanks for the tips, I'll give it a try!  I'm trying to add as much ArcReader-like functionality to my javascript app in order to move away from ArcReader.
