This early 3D text machinery is limited to rather crude uppercase letters.

It has been superceded by the text object introduced in Visual 5.3.

# Display extruded text (uppercase only at present)

# By default, display text along x axis, with letters pointing up parallel to y axis

# Bruce Sherwood, Carnegie Mellon University, begun March 2000

# Example with default values:

# text(pos=(0,0,0), axis=(1,0,0), string='ABC',

# height=1, depth=0, width=1,

# color=currentdisplay.foreground, up=(0,1,0.3))

# axis is direction along which text advances

# if width not specified, it is the same as height

# depth is measured forward from pos

# Only numbers and uppercase letters at present: others display as '*'
