- Panel Size (textsize) <float>
The size of the text panel in the world. This is previewed with a sphere, but it actually extends 'north-west' relative to the direction it's facing. Due to the limited in-editor previewing abilities, it's recommended to use the 'SetPanelSize' input in-game with the 'ent_fire' command to fine-tune this value. Use 'r_vguitext_bg' to display the panel in-game.
