The program creates a Text (line 18), sets its font (line 19), and places it to the pane
(line 21). The program creates another Text with multiple lines (line 23) and places it to the
pane (line 24). The program creates the third Text (line 26), sets its color (line 27), sets an
underline and a strike through line (lines 28-29), and places it to the pane (line 30).

14.11.2 Line
A line connects two points with four parameters startX , startY , endX , and endY , as shown
in Figure 14.29a. The Line class defines a line. The UML diagram for the Line class is
shown in Figure 14.28. Listing 14.15 gives an example that demonstrates text, as shown in
Figure 14.29b.
