# UI Text GameObjects

By default, a TextMesh Pro UI Text GameObject has the following components:

* **Rect Transform:** Controls the GameObject's position and size on the canvas. For more information, see the [Rect Transform](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-RectTransform.html) documentation in the Unity Manual.<br/><br/>
* **Canvas Renderer:** Renders the GameObject on the canvas. For more information, see the [Canvas Renderer](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-CanvasRenderer.html) documentation in the Unity Manual.<br/><br/>
* **TextMeshPro - Text (UI):** Contains the text to display, and the [properties](#properties-overview) that control its appearance and behavior. <br/><br/>
* **Material:** A Unity material that uses one of the TextMesh Pro shaders to further control the text's appearance. For more information see the [Shaders](Shaders.md) section.
