Ptext

processing

Draws text to the screen. Displays the information specified in the first parameter on the screen in the position specified by the additional parameters. A default font will be used unless a font is set with the PtextFont function and a default size will be used unless a font is set with PtextSize. Change the color of the text with the Pfill function. The text displays in relation to the PtextAlign function, which gives the option to draw to the left, right, and center of the coordinates.

The x2 and y2 parameters define a rectangular area to display within and may only be used with string data. When these parameters are specified, they are interpreted based on the current PrectMode setting. Text that does not fit completely within the rectangle specified will not be drawn to the screen.

Note that Processing now lets you call Ptext without first specifying a PFont with PtextFont. In that case, a generic sans-serif font will be used instead.
