They are red actually you can see it in the first photo. Even if they are green I would be able to see them because boxes are not blue they are literally grey

Hello,

You did not ask for help.

You just made a statements:

`About text() function`

> [@SouSageYa](#):
>
> I cant see those texts where are they.Their X Y Axis locations are true but I didn’t understand where are they

Can someone please @SouSageYa ?

Sure! Since you ask so nicely.

I added some code so I could test what you provided:

```auto
void setup()
  {
  size(500, 500);
  textSize(24);
  
  //Pressure Chart Value
  fill(#D6CDCD);
  stroke(#000000);
  rect(260,325,200,40,50);
  fill(#FF301E);
  text("test",340,110);
  
  //Height Chart Value
  fill(#D6CDCD);
  stroke(#000000);
  rect(260,285,200,40,50);
  fill(#FF301E);
  text("test",380,150);
  
  //Voltage Chart Value
  fill(#D6CDCD);
  stroke(#000000);
  rect(260,245,200,40,50);
  fill(#FF301E);
  text("test",380,190);
  }

```

This is a snippet of code; how this will behave in the larger context of your project is not known.

Actually I didn’t ask this forum to write the code or something. I just wanted to learn why are those texts are being hidden at the back of those boxes even the other ones are not. like the code/photo that you attached. Thanks @glv

I can’t run your code.

It is vital

- that you say fill BEFORE the text that uses the color and
- that you draw the text AFTER the rectangle it is upon.

Maybe you can provide a MCVE?

Thank you!

Its about the source code I guess when I tried to code those texts somewhere else it worked thanks for everything much love.
