<pcbnotetext />

Overview

The <pcbnotetext /> element places text annotations directly on the PCB. It's useful for adding labels, version numbers, copyright notices, or any other textual information to your board.

Unlike schematic text, PCB note text appears on the physical board and can be printed on any layer.

export default () => (
  <board width="20mm" height="20mm">

      pcbY={0}
      text="Hello PCB"
      fontSize={1.5}

Basic Examples

Simple Label

export default () => (
  <board width="20mm" height="20mm">
    <pcbnotetext
      pcbX={0}
      pcbY={5}
      text="v1.0"
      fontSize={1}
      anchorAlignment="center"
    />
  </board>
)

Colored Text with Different Alignments

export default () => (
  <board width="30mm" height="30mm">
    <pcbnotetext
      pcbX={0}
      pcbY={8}
      text="Top Left"
      fontSize={1.2}
      anchorAlignment="top_left"
      color="#ff0000"
    />
    <pcbnotetext
      pcbX={0}
      pcbY={0}
      text="Center"
      fontSize={1.2}
      anchorAlignment="center"
      color="#00ff00"
    />
    <pcbnotetext
      pcbX={0}
      pcbY={-8}
      text="Bottom Right"
      fontSize={1.2}
      anchorAlignment="bottom_right"
      color="#0000ff"
    />
  </board>
)
