Drawing text
There are two methods available to draw text on the canvas: strokeText() and fillText(). strokeText() draws outlined text using the current lineWidth and strokeStyle, while fillText() draws with the current fillStyle. Both take the same parameters; the text to draw, and the x and y coordinates. The context object has a global font property to define which font to use. You set its value the same you would when defining a font in CSS. Continuing where we left off in the previous chapter with our Canvas Pad application, we will add a new text drawing tool. You can find the source code for this section in Chapter 5/example5.1.
