public class Text
extends DrawObj

This will draw a string of text on the screen. The drawing is specified by giving the X location of the left edge of the text and the Y location of the baseline. Note that the baseline is the bottom of most characters. Characters such as 'j' or 'g' descend below the baseline. The text is approximately 1 unit high. The size of the text can be varied by placing this object into a Group and then using the Group's scaling functionality. This can also be used to rotate the text.
