For a saving a single presentation image you can just type the 2dlabel command with the needed time value. But I guess you want the case where you record a movie. For that you can use the “perframe” command to update the label at each frame, for example, command</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> perframe "2dlabel change tlabel text $1" range 0,107.5 frames 50 format %.2f</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">changes the text once per frame for 50 frames cover time range 0-107.5.
