putText()

Description

putText() places a string at a given location on the sketch. It starts from the given location and writes the string to the right. It does not do any text wrapping, it just places a line of text.

Syntax

putText(text, x, y, mode, safetyOverride)

text: The text to be displayed

x: The X coordinate of the leftmost character.

y: the Y coordinate of the leftmost character.

mode: optional - either SCREEN or CHAR. Controls which coordinate mode to use.

safetyOverride: optional - Either true or false. By default set to false. If safetyOverride is false, any character in text that is also in notAllowedCharacters will not be drawn. It may be less readable, but it won’t break anything.

Returns

Nothing
