Is it possible to add a border to the rectangle frame of the text object? I’m trying to have a text centered vertically and horizontally inside of a transparent rectangle that has border. Thanks

  Hi Marco,

  Yes it is! You can enable the Background option in the Text component.

   

  Check out this guide for more information:

  Thanks Jonathan.

   

  But setting the background will only fill the background. I was wondering how to set a border around the rectangle.

   

  thanks

  Ah sorry :)

  You can use the Extents Target option to use the size of a text to determine the size of another screen transform. Then, if you add an image under that screen transform, and give it padding, you can have a border around your extents target. 

  Take a look at this example project for an example: https://storage.googleapis.com/snapchat-lens-assets/f1a09194-f02d-43ed-92b8-62e843179ff0/lensStudio/Forum-Helpers/Border-example.zip

  Let me know if you need any clarification! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

  Cheers,

  Jonathan
