Parameters

g

The destination Graphics object.

text

Text string.

destRect

Rectangle to be used as the display destination rectangle.

textStyle

textAlignment

Text Alignment, For valid values refer to SpecialEffectsTextAlignmentFlags.

xDepth

Horizontal shadow position.

yDepth

Vertical shadow position.

textColor

Value that specifies the text color.

shadowColor

hiliteColor

Value that specifies the border color.

textFont

Font object that will be used for drawing the 3D text.

foreImage
