This tool allows the user to store and set different alerts onto a slide and set how it will be played and with what timeing.
The user can drag and drop this tool directly onto the slide, or a preview

slide and ROI (Region of Interest) box will appear. This box can be
moved and the size changed to serve the purpose of the user.
Once
the ROI is in the correct orientation and location the user will want

Display Type:
The
user may choose different options for how the alert will appear on the
screen. The user may choose for it to flash, scroll, or be static. The
user may choose multple options for the display type: for example the
user may have the text scroll in, flash, and then remain static.
The
user may also choose the alert speed with which it flashes, scrolls, or
comes onto the screen. The speed corelates to how much time per
character to move. So if it is set at 1.0 second, each character will
come onto the screen in 1.0 second.
The user may also choose a
display time for all display types. This timing is also in seconds and
directly corresponds to how long the image will remain on the slide.

pages allow the user to change the color, font, and size of the text
inputted into the tool (use the Render Style page), and also the size
and orientation of the ROI box (use the Rectangle and Entity page).
