For example, if you enter 10 texts you will fill the text buffer. If you then insert a new text object, you will overwrite the first text position (textBuffer[0]). Inserting another new text object will overwrite the second text position (textBuffer[1]).
  • Each text is uniquely identified by its (X,Y) coordinate, so you can replace the text string at a (X,Y) coordinate instead of adding a new text object. For example, if you insert "TEST_1" at (120,120) and then later submit "TEST_2" at (120,120), you will replace the string "TEST_1" with "TEST_2" and maintain an overall text count of 1.
