Any object, typically one which makes sense to display as a string, such as a Float.
METHOD:: setBoth
A variable stating whether setting link::#-object:: will also set link::#-string::.

A Boolean.
SUBSECTION:: Appearance
METHOD:: align
The alignment of the displayed text. See link::Reference/gui_alignments:: for possible values.
METHOD:: font
The font used to display the text.

A Color.
EXAMPLES::
subsection:: Basic Example
code::
(
w = Window.new.front;
a = StaticText(w, Rect(10, 10, 200, 20));
a.string = "Rolof's Rolex";
)
// adjust look , alignment and content
a.background=Color.grey;
a.align = \center;
a.font = Font("Monaco", 11);
a.string = "Your Rolex";

subsection:: Monitoring Values in a Synth
code::

}).play;
r= Routine{
{ // Set the value of the StaticText to the value in the control bus.
// Setting GUI values is asynchronous, so you must use .defer in the system clock.
