Text
The text shape draws any text/string on the canvas at the position specified in the parameters.
The font used to render the text is the default one and cannot be changed at the moment. Like the text font, the size of the text is also a constant and cannot be changed.
To understand how to declare and draw a shape please refer, to this document.
Example
To declare and draw a text shape named greeting with text "Hello" at position (100, 100) in color RED we write the following statement.
shape greeting(text):
.text = "Hello"
.color = RED
.position = (100, 100)
endshape
