Example:

```python
words = easy_draw.Text(
    center_xy = (300,100), 
    text = "I Love Python",  
    color = (0, 200, 50),          # Optional Property
    font = "Times",                # Optional Property
    size = 32,                     # Optional Property
    bold = True,                   # Optional Property
    italic = True,                 # Optional Property
    underline = True,              # Optional Property
    strikethrough = True,          # Optional Property
    visible = True                 # Optional Property
)
```

## Images

First thing that need to be done to use an image is open it in Easy Draw with the `open_image()` function.

The `open_image()` function requires 1 positional argument - `filename`.  The filename can be relative or an absolute file path.

```python
pic = easy_draw.open_image("super_cool_image.png")
```

Then you can create an image object.

`Image(center_xy, image)`

| ----------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `center_xy` | <p>REQUIRED </p><p>(No default)</p> | The center coordinate (x, y) of where to draw the image.                                                                    |

| `visible`   | True                                | <p>True = Image can be seen. </p><p>False = Image cannot be seen.</p>                                                       |

Example:

```python
pic = easy_draw.open_image("super_cool_image.png")

img = easy_draw.Image(
    center_xy = (300,300),
    image = pic
)
```
