HTML5 canvas Text Tutorial

To create text with Konva, we can instantiate a Konva.Text() object.

For a full list of attributes and methods, check out the Konva.Text documentation.

// align: 'center'
var complexText = new Konva.Text({

text: "COMPLEX TEXT\n\nAll the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances.",
