"""
This example shows how to insert text into a scene using TextItem. This class
is for displaying text that is anchored to a particular location in the data
coordinate system, but which is always displayed unscaled.
For text that scales with the data, use QTextItem.
For text that can be placed in a layout, use LabelItem.
