Draws (renders) text fonts into a matrix, by first drawing it in a figure, then capturing the screen. There are two versions, a "simple" one that only takes a couple of inputs, and the full version that has more flexibility, but perhaps some obtuse inputs.

I have many times wanted to make a matrix (and/or save to a file) an image that includes matlab-generated text in my choice of fonts, and now one can do so with ease.

See the comments in the files for more info, and be sure to run these demos:
testRenderText.m
testRendreTextSimple.m
