drawString?

Hi,
Just wondering if there's processing version of "Graphics.drawString()" method... it could be quite useful for debugging and tracing variables, without the need to load any fonts first.

You want "print" or "println" - anything you send to them will appear on the console.
They are vulnerable to sluggish behaviour if you send lots of stuff every frame, but they are handy for status messages. Just don't try and output the colour of every pixel, every frame, like I did 
Something I find useful is to use a lower frame rate whilst printing info to the console, then you know what's going on. framerate(2) sets loop to 2 frames per second.

also, java's Graphics.drawString() is just called 'text()' in processing. but println() will be quicker for output.
