This optional output contains a handle to a Compound object whose children
are the created Text entities. Use hdl to modify properties
of a specific or all Text entities after they are created. For a list of
properties, see text_properties.
xstringb draws the matrix of strings str centered inside
the rectangle rect=[x,y,w,h]
(lower-left point, width, height) in user coordinates.
If option is given with the value "fill", the character size is
computed so as to fill as much as possible in the rectangle.
Enter the command xstringb() to see a demo.
