text_properties - description of the Text entity properties

### Description

The Text entity is a leaf of the graphics entities hierarchy. This entity defines the parameters for string drawing
- visible: This field contains the `visible` property value for the entity . It should be `"on"` or `"off"` .By default, the text is visible, the value's property is `"on"` . If `"off"` the text is not to display on the screen.
- text: This field is the character string vector which contains the text.
- data: This field is the vector `[x,y]` of the origin of the text in the data units of the axes.
- font_size: The `font_size` property is used to select the type of size of the text. Its value should be an integer in between 0 and 5 whith stands for 8pt, 10pt, 12pt, 14pt, 18pt and 24pt.
- font_style: Seven differents fonts are available : "Courrier", "Symbol", "Times", "Times Italic", "Times Bold", "User defined". The font_size property is an index in [0 6] which is associated to the previous font names.
- font_angle: This property determines the orientation of the text string. Specify value of rotation in degrees.
- foreground: This field contains the color used to display the text. Its value should be a color index (relative to the current colormap).
- clip_state: This field contains the `clip_state` property value for the text. Its value should be :
- `"off"` this means that the text is not clipped.
- `"cliprf"` this means that the text is clipped outside the Axes box.
- `"on"` this means that the text is clipped outside the rectangle given by the property `clip_box`.
- clip_box: This field contains the `clip_box` property. Its value should be an empty matrix if clip_state is "off" or the vector `[x,y,w,h`] (upper-left point width height).
- parent: This property contains the handle of the parent. The parent of the text entity should be of the type `"Axes"` or `"Agregation"`.

### Examples

      set("figure_style","new") //create a figure
       a=get("current_axes");
       a.data_bounds=[0,0,1,1];

       xstring(0.5,0.6,"Scilab is not esilaB",0,0)

       t=get("hdl")   //get the handle of the newly created object

       t.foreground=9;
       t.font_size=5;
       t.font_style=5;
       t.text="SCILAB";
       t.font_angle=90;
