[PD-dev] text placement

[Miller Puckette]

In g_rtext.c:

        sys_vgui("pdtk_text_new .x%lx.c %s %f %f {%.*s} %d %s\n",
            canvas, x->x_tag,
            dispx + LMARGIN, dispy + TMARGIN,
            outchars, tempbuf, sys_hostfontsize(font),
            (glist_isselected(x->x_glist,
                &x->x_glist->gl_gobj)? "blue" : "black"));

places the text, and the border gets drawn in the text_drawborder()
function.  I couldn't spot anything platform-dependent in the code,
although I've noticed that drawing comes out differently on Mac compared
to other platforms - create a slider, for instance and look at the bar.
I believe Pd corrects for that when drawing inlets/outlet on objects,
but I don't think there's anywhere else.

cheers
Miller
