 * @class Text
 * @extends Sprite
 * @constructor
 * @param text {String} The copy that you would like the text to display
 * @param [style] {Object} The style parameters
 * @param [style.font] {String} default 'bold 20px Arial' The style and size of the font
 * @param [style.fill='black'] {String|Number} A canvas fillstyle that will be used on the text e.g 'red', '#00FF00'
 * @param [style.align='left'] {String} Alignment for multiline text ('left', 'center' or 'right'), does not affect single line text
 * @param [style.stroke] {String|Number} A canvas fillstyle that will be used on the text stroke e.g 'blue', '#FCFF00'
 * @param [style.strokeThickness=0] {Number} A number that represents the thickness of the stroke. Default is 0 (no stroke)
 * @param [style.wordWrap=false] {Boolean} Indicates if word wrap should be used
 * @param [style.wordWrapWidth=100] {Number} The width at which text will wrap, it needs wordWrap to be set to true
 * @param [style.dropShadow=false] {Boolean} Set a drop shadow for the text
 * @param [style.dropShadowColor='#000000'] {String} A fill style to be used on the dropshadow e.g 'red', '#00FF00'
