-- Create a text display.
myTextDisplay = textCreateDisplay ( )
-- Add a player as an observer, i.e. this player will see everything added to this display
textDisplayAddObserver ( myTextDisplay, aPlayer )
-- Create a new text item with the text 'Hello World' and a priority of 'low' and colored red.
myTextItem = textCreateTextItem ( "Hello World", 0.5, 0.5, "low", 255, 0, 0, 0, 1.0 )
