User Manual

Next let's add a label that says "Hello World!" on top of that. We're going to use the built-in Terminal Font and scale it

up by a factor of three. To scale the label only, we will make use of a subgroup, which we will then add to the main

group.

Labels are centered vertically, so we'll place it at 120 for the Y coordinate, and around 57 pixels make it appear to be

centered horizontally, but if you want to change the text, change this to whatever looks good to you. Let's go with

some yellow text, so we'll pass it a value of 0xFFFF00 .

Finally, we place an infinite loop at the end so that the graphics screen remains in place and isn't replaced by a

terminal.
