The GenText object automatically will interact with its parent generic object (usually a GenInteraction or GenPrimary) to provide the proper sizing behavior. GenText objects automatically implement their own scrolling when necessary, adding horizontal or vertical scrollers as the need arises.

VisText, however, does not provide automatic scrolling. The VisText may only exist as a node in a visible object tree under a VisContent; the content (in concert with its parent GenView) will provide whatever scrolling, scaling, and sizing that is required.
