```{index} single: show_text (Cairo::Context) ``` ```{index} single: Cairo::Context::show_text ``` # show_text Draws `$text` at the current point using the current font and source, then advances the current point past what was drawn. $cr->move_to(10, 40); $cr->show_text('Hello'); The string is taken as text, so non-ASCII characters are drawn correctly. This is the convenience interface meant for simple labels; use `show_glyphs` or a text-shaping library for real typography. Wraps `cairo_show_text`.
