Parameters

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: Text Alignment, For valid values refer to SpecialEffectsTextAlignmentFlags.
xDepth: Horizontal shadow position.
yDepth: Vertical shadow position.
textColor: Value that specifies the text color.
shadowColor: Value that specifies the shadow color.
hiliteColor: Value that specifies the border color.
textFont: Font object that will be used for drawing the 3D text.
foreImage: Image object that will be used to place an image (such as a gradient) on the surface of the three-dimensional text. Use null to paint the color specified in textColor.

Remarks

Use the textStyle and textAlignment parameters to control the style and justification of the three-dimensional text. Use the textFont parameter to place an image (such as a gradient) on the surface of the three-dimensional text.
