3# annotate_words.pl
4#
5# Take the internal string, split it into words and try to annotate each
6# individual word correctly, so as to control spacing between the words
7# under program control.
8#
9# A demonstration of using QueryFontMetrics(), by passing it exactly the same
10# arguments as you would for Annotate(), to determine the location of the
11# text that is/was drawn.

13# Example script from   Zentara
