From the example you need to init the class and display the scroll bar

This is the core line:

// Get the position of the img1 scrollbar  
// and convert to a value to display the img1 image  
float img1Pos = hs1.getPos()-width/2;

When you say println(img1Pos); you will see the values

Now use this value before text() command:

```auto
translate (0, img1Pos);

text( „Hello“, 22, 100);

```
