How to modify raphael text?

javascript, raphael, svg, text

Solution

You must use the `.attr()`docs method to change the text of an existing text element

like this

t.attr('text','new text here');

Problem

After instantiating Raphael text like so ``` var t = paper.text(50, 50, "Raphaël\nkicks\nbutt!"); ``` how do I go about then modifying that text? `t.text = "test";` did not work for me.
