Create text in the viewport

Hi, I have a question, how to create text in the viewport using ruby? Like that (sometimes) appears when using SketchyPhysics

This text does not disappear by selecting different tools, so it does not seem to be done with draw_text in advance I appreciate your help

Could be just screen text, also.

Jim thank you very much for the answer, it is what I needed

I have another question related to text, how I can increase the font size when use draw_text?

In brief: you can't. This has been discussed elsewhere with regard to MacBook Pro Retina, where the font draw_text uses is so small it is very hard to read.

is a shame..., I hope this to be improved for the next version of Sketchup

Yea, it's a known - annoying - limitation with draw_text. Both color and size would be good to have.
