Edit

if you selected object that is created with this addon,the side panel will change for edit the text.

"Text" panel let you edit the text.

You can edit text, text material, font, size, thickness, spacing, horizontal/vertical alignment, max width, shade smooth, initial rotation object and along curve.
Max Width represents the length before line breaks when the text consists of multiple words. 0 means no newline.
Shade Smooth is same as default Shade Auto Smooth.
Initial Rotation Object is an object for setting the initial rotation of each character of the text.
The rotation value of this object will be reflected in each letter.
If you turn on Animation by Initial Object's Rotation, it will animate towards the local coordinates after rotating according to the object. If you turn it off, it will animate towards the world coordinates(Scale always animates towards local coordinates.).
Along Curve aligns text to curve object.

"1st Animation" panel let you edit the animation without keyframe.

You can edit start from, start frame, end frame and character offset.
You can select built-in preset or resistered by yourself.

In addition,this panel has three region named "Translate","Scale" and "Rotation".

You can edit value, animate from/to, easing type and easing fact in each section.
In Scale or Rotation section, you can set pivot type to Bounding Box or Offset

Bounding Box is to set pivot to each characters bounding box.

For XZ direction, you can set to Top Left, Top, Top Right, Middle, Bottom Left, Bottom or Bottom Right.
For Y direction, you can set to Front, Middle or Back.

Offset is to set that pivot is how far from the center of each character.

"2nd Animation" panel let you edit nearly same as "1st Animation" panel.

The "Tranlste", "Scale" and "Rotation" sections of "2nd Animation" are almost the same as "1st Animation", but there is a difference in how the values are animated (Animation FROM/TO).

Offset is how much to translate, scale and rotate from the value after the 1st animation is completed.
When set to a target, it will move, scale and rotate to the specified value regardless of the 1st animation.

Select object created with this addon,go to geometry node editor.
Select node group named "sum_EasingTypeSwitcher_2.5.1v" framed by red.
Press Tab key and go into node group.
