<![CDATA[Putting text into an ofelia window]]>Hello all,
I am enjoying working with ofelia. I am now trying to figure out a way to add text in an ofelia window. I thought it might be |drawString|, but that object does not appear when I try to create that object in my Pd patch. Many of the other objects do work. Even |ofTrueTypeFont|.

Am I doing something wrong is there an easier way to do this?

Actually "drawString" is used as an argument of [ofTrueTypeFont].

Again, I am making progress. Now, I am a bit perplexed on how to use paths well in this program. Will have to look into that. But you have made my day.

path.pd

for a custom path ([openpanel] does not work in a standalone (compiled) application..).
