Applications often display simple lines of text. Text might request the user to make a selection. Text can alert the user to a certain application condition. The GenGlyph offers a simple, easy to use text display object.

One other generic object, GenText, provides a powerful means to display text with functions such as word-wrapping, font scalability, and an arbitrarily large buffer size. If you do not need such a versatile and powerful text display capability, however, it is wiser and easier to use a GenGlyph. This object only displays text in the default font and style for your application.
