This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use `Graphics.DrawText` as a replacement.
## Description Draws the text at the specified location and in the current color. The current color is set with the ForeColor property. ## Notes The *X* parameter specifies the distance from the left of the Graphics object in pixels. The *Y* parameter specifies the baseline for the text. The optional *WrapWidth* parameter specifies the width (in pixels) at which *Text* should wrap. The *Text* will wrap if *WrapWidth* is provided and Condense is `False` (The default is `False`). If *WrapWidth* is omitted, then *Text* will print on one line, even if the window or `RectControl` is too narrow to contain the text. If the optional *Condense* property is `True`, DrawString truncates the string to fit into the space specified by *WrapWidth* and uses an ellipsis ("...") to indicate that there is additional text that is not shown. The default values of *WrapWidth* and *Condense* are zero and `False`, respectively. The default behavior is to print the string on one line. ## Sample code This code draws text in red Helvetica 16-point: ``` xojo g.ForeColor = &cff0000 g.TextFont = "Helvetica" g.TextUnit = FontUnits.Point g.TextSize = 16 g.DrawString("Hello world", 10, 130) ``` ## Compatibility All project types on all supported operating systems.
