Sets the way text is aligned when text() is called.
By default, calling text('hi', 10, 20) places the bottom-left corner of the text's bounding box at (10, 20).
The first parameter, horizAlign, changes the way text() interprets x-coordinates. By default, the x-coordinate sets the left edge of the bounding box. textAlign() accepts the following values for horizAlign: LEFT, CENTER, or RIGHT.
The second parameter, vertAlign, is optional. It changes the way text() interprets y-coordinates. By default, the y-coordinate sets the bottom edge of the bounding box. textAlign() accepts the following values for vertAlign: TOP, BOTTOM, CENTER, or BASELINE.
