```
text(sentence, x, y)
```

<table><thead><tr><th width="132">Input</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>sentence</td><td>The content of the text. It can be any type of data, though we usually use strings.</td></tr><tr><td>x</td><td>the x-coordinate of the text box</td></tr><tr><td>y</td><td>the y-coordinate of the text box</td></tr></tbody></table>
