<h1>Class <code>Strings.DisplayString</code></h1>
<p>A string appearing on the screen.</p>
<p>Can be used for subtitles and "2001, somewhere in Egypt"-style messages.</p>
<p>Uses screen-space coordinates, with x values specifying the number of pixels from the left of the window,
and y values specifying the number of pixels from the top of the window.</p>
<p>Since different players will have different resolutions, you should work in terms of percentages where possible,
2022-04-10 00:38:39 +01:00
and use <a href="../1 modules/Misc.html#ScreenToPercent">ScreenToPercent</a> and <a href="../1 modules/Misc.html#PercentToScreen">PercentToScreen</a>
when you need to use screen-space coordinates.</p>
