Hello, I am placing a text object in a place where the background is sometimes dark and sometimes light, so the text is hard to see. Adding a background to the text object itself looks a bit ugly, so I am wondering if there is a way to add a shadow to the text itself.
What's the best way to do this? I thought about redrawing the same text just offset by a fraction of the text size, but I can't quite figure out how to do the placement properly. My rough idea is the get the position of the text in pixel coordinates, add an offset to it and then position it with display coordinates as well. But how do I get the display coordinates of something that I placed in axes coordinates? And how to I determine how many pixels I need to offset without knowing the dpi?
