Updating Pretext with streaming data

Community Support

Hello,
I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask this, but my googling and messing around with code has failed. I have some streaming data where I would like to represent some of the data in text form. How do you dynamically update the text in a Pretext object and have that update be displayed?
Thanks.

This is definitely the right place to ask!

You’ll need to share some more code for me to be
certain. But , you should just be able to
update the text attribute of your pretext object and it changes.
