<h2>pasteString and burnString</h2>
<HR>
<H3>Syntax:</H3>
<P>
<pre class="syntax">pasteString (<i>x, y, thisString</i>);</pre>
</P>
<P>
<pre class="syntax">burnString (<i>x, y, thisString</i>);</pre>
</P>
<H3>Purpose:</H3>
<P>
Adds text to the background image. The parameter <i>thisString</i> is added to the screen at the position (<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>).
</P>
<P>
If the value of <i>x</i> is CENTRE (or CENTER) the text is added halfway across the screen. Otherwise, the <i>x</i> value is used as the horizontal position of the hotspot of the first character of <i>thisString</i>. The <i>y</i> parameter is always used as the vertical position of the hotspot of every character of <i>thisString</i> - the enumeration CENTRE (or CENTER) shouldn't be used as the <i>y</i> parameter. If it is, the text will not appear on the screen.
</P>
<P>
Both pasteString and burnString use the font most recently loaded by the <a href="setFont.html">setFont</a> command. pasteString uses the colour specified by the <a href="setPasteColour_(setPasteColor).html">setPasteColour (or setPasteColor)</a> command. burnString adds text in the colour specified by <a href="setBurnColour_(setBurnColor).html">setBurnColour (or setBurnColor)</a>, using the differing brightness levels of the font to achieve an anti-aliasing effect.
</P>
<H3>Return value:</H3>
<P>
No return value.
