|---|---|---|---|
| offset | [pair!] | optional | |
| size | [pair!] | optional | |

Notes and Examples
To run some of these tests, you'll need to define the following font objects:
bold20: make system/standard/font [style: 'bold size: 20 color: white]
bold36: make system/standard/font [style: 'bold size: 36 color: white]
Basic text isn't too exciting to look at.
text 10x15 [white "This is a string of raster aliased text"]
text 10x40 [white anti-alias on "This is a string of raster anti-aliased text"]
pen off
fill-pen red
text vectorial 10x60 ["This is a string of vectorial text"]
text 10x90 [anti-alias off font bold20 "Font Size 20 - raster"]
text 10x120 [anti-alias on font bold20 "Font Size 20 - raster AA"]
pen yellow
fill-pen blue
text 10x150 vectorial [font bold20 "Font Size 20 - vectorial"]
Vectorial text supports the pen, fill-pen, line-width, and line-pattern settings.
Note: Once a color in richtext dialect block is defined text color is switched under control of the richtext dialect pens.
pen yellow
line-width 2
grad-pen 50x180 0 450 [255.0.0 255.255.0 0.255.0 0.255.255]
text 0x15 vectorial [font bold36 "Font Size 36 - vectorial"]
grad-pen off
line-pattern red 5 5
text vectorial 0x60 [font bold36 "Patterned Text"]
