g

The destination Graphics object.

text

Text string.

destRect

Rectangle to be used as the display destination rectangle.

angle

Text angle, in tenths of degrees.

textStyle

Text style. Use this parameter to control the style and justification of the three-dimensional text. For valid values refer to SpecialEffectsTextStyle.

textAlignment

xDepth

Horizontal shadow position.

yDepth

Vertical shadow position.

textColor

Value that specifies the text color.
