A wx panel that draws text items on a dark canvas and hands its keys to its owner — the screens a game puts around its worlds, drawn as a game draws them rather than built from widgets.

text = Cauldron2D.Wx.Text.new(frame, owner: self(), backdrop: &MyGame.Wx.stars/3)
Cauldron2D.Wx.Text.show(text, [{{:centre, 640}, 200, "DOTS", {127, 214, 255}, :title}, {60, 300, "Enter  play", {228, 231, 243}, :big}])

An item is {x, y, text, colour, size} — x a left edge in pixels or {:centre, x}, colour an RGB triple, size one of :small, :normal, :big, :title — with an optional sixth element, an action: a click on the item's text sends the owner {:cauldron_wx_text, :action, action}. The owner also receives {:cauldron_wx_text, :key, code} for every key that goes down (wx key codes) and {:cauldron_wx_text, :char, char} for every character typed, and draws by calling show/2 again.

Options: :owner (default the caller); :backdrop, a function of the DC, the width and the height that draws behind the text, after the canvas is cleared to :background (default {5, 6, 15}); :fonts — points for :small, :normal, :big, :title (default 12, 15, 20, 48).
