Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "goo_canvas_text_get_type ()" ) ]
public class CanvasText : CanvasItemSimple, CanvasItem

GooCanvasText represents a text item.

It is a subclass of CanvasItemSimple and so inherits all of the style properties such as "fill-color".

It also implements the CanvasItem interface, so you can use the CanvasItem functions such as raise and rotate.

The width and height properties specify the area of the item. If it exceeds that area because there is too much text, it is clipped. The properties can be set to -1 to disable clipping.

To create a CanvasText use CanvasText.

To get or set the properties of an existing CanvasText, use @get and @set.
