draw-text in dc<%>

Draws a text string at a specified point, using the current text font, and the current text foreground and background colors. For unrotated text, the specified point is used as the starting top-left point for drawing characters (e.g, if ``W'' is drawn, the point is roughly the location of the top-left pixel in the ``W''). Rotated text is rotated around this point.

See get-text-extent for information on the size of the drawn text.

See also set-text-foreground, set-text-background, and set-text-mode.

The current brush and current pen settings for the DC have no effect on how the text is drawn.

• (send a-dc draw-text text x y big-chars? offset angle) -> void
     text : string
     x : real number
     y : real number
     big-chars? = #f : boolean
     offset = 0 : exact non-negative integer
     angle = 0 : real number

  Restrictions on the magnitude of drawing coordinates are described with dc<%>.

  The text string is drawn starting from the offset character, and continuing until the end of text or the first null character.

  If big-chars? is #t, then text is interpreted as a Unicode string instead of an ASCII string; however, Unicode strings are not yet fully supported.

  The string is rotated by angle radians counter-clockwise. If angle is not zero, then the text is always drawn in transparent mode (see set-text-mode).
