Goal

Display the content of a text (segmentation).

Prerequisites
-------------

Some text has been imported in Orange Textable (see :ref:`Cookbook: Text input
<cookbook_toc_text_input_ref>`) and possibly further processed (see
:ref:`Cookbook: Segmentation manipulation
<cookbook_toc_segmentation_manipulation_ref>`).

Ingredients
-----------

  ==============  =======
   **Widget**      :ref:`Display`
   **Icon**        |display_icon|
   **Quantity**    1

   :alt: Viewing text with an instance of Display

   Figure 1: Viewing text with an instance of :ref:`Display`.

1. Create an instance of :ref:`Display` on the canvas.
2. Drag and drop from the output connection (righthand side) of the widget
   instance that emits the segmentation to be displayed (e.g.
   :ref:`Text Field`) to the :ref:`Display` instance's input connection
   (lefthand side).
3. Open the :ref:`Display` instance's interface by double-clicking on its
   icon on the canvas to view the text content.
   
Comment
-------

* If the input data consist of a large number of segments (thousands or more),
  the time necessary to display them can be prohibitively long.
