Detailed Description

This class used to render text as part of a SymbolCollection.

Text have a text string, font size, anchor location, and anchoring mode.

Basic styling such as stroke, color are defined in the superclass Symbol.

On a label the "stroke" refer to the outside of the of the letter, and the "fill" refers to the inside of the letters. In most case, you want no stroke but a fill.

Text is placed by defining an anchor position and what that position is for the text (is it the middle? is it the top left?). Check the tutorial for details.
