# Class Text

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.Node
javafx.scene.shape.Shape
javafx.scene.text.Text

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Styleable, EventTarget`

@DefaultProperty("text") public non-sealed class Text extends Shape
The `Text` class defines a node that displays a text. Paragraphs are separated by `'\n'` and the text is wrapped on paragraph boundaries.

    import javafx.scene.text.*;

    Text t = new Text(10, 50, "This is a test");
    t.setFont(new Font(20));

    import javafx.scene.text.*;

    Text t = new Text();
    text.setFont(new Font(20));
    text.setText("First row\nSecond row");

    import javafx.scene.text.*;

    Text t = new Text();
    text.setFont(new Font(20));
    text.setWrappingWidth(200);
    text.setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.JUSTIFY)
    text.setText("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog");
