About Gray Text

Support has been added for gray text in two ways. There is a new font spec frame slot named color which specifies the gray tone to use when drawing text. For more information on font spec frames, see "Using Fonts for Text and Ink Display" (page 8-17) in Newton Programmer's Guide.

There is also a new style frame slot textPattern that is used to draw text within a graphic shape. If the style frame does not contain a textPattern slot, text is drawn in the tone specified by the fillPattern slot.
