xml-text

This is a composite builder that construct a text geometry. If required, the xml-text builder can be used as a non-composite xml-text builder, in which case, in addition to the data parameters below, one will also need to use the data parameters for an xml-point (see above). If used as a composite builder, it must be given an existing geometry (in fact, this is the preferred way of using the xml-text builder). In other words, another geometry must be activated and deactivated before the xml-text is deactivated.
