SYNTAX	GfxTextOut( ''text'', x, y )
RETURNS	NOTHING
FUNCTION	Writes a character string at the specified location using the currently selected font. Parameters: "text" - Specifies the character string to be drawn x - Specifies the x-coordinate of the starting point of the text y - Specifies the y-coordinate of the starting point of the text Character origins are at the upper-left corner of the character cell. By default, the current position is not used or updated by the function. The font used can be set using GfxSelectFont() function. Text color can be set using GfxSetTextColor() function. If a formula needs to update the current position when it calls GfxTextOut, the formula can call the GfxSetTextAlign function with flags set to 1 (TA_UPDATECP Windows flag). When this flag is set, GfxTextOut function ignores the x and y parameters on subsequent calls to GfxTextOut, using the current position instead. The output of this function is NOT clipped. If you want clip text to user-defined rectangle, use GfxDrawText() function instead. NOTE: This is LOW-LEVEL graphic function.
