## Demos
### DemoGlyphOutput01

This demo implements a drawing program utilizing custom text rendering with a wave-like animation effect.
It allows for manipulating text position and scaling over time.

Key elements of the program:
- A centered rectangle on the drawing canvas.
- Text rendering with properties such as horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and tracking,
dynamically changing over time.
- Custom text animation implementing wave-like movement and scaling.

### DemoTextWriter01

This demo features the drawing of a centered rectangle and the addition of styled text inside
the rectangle. The application manages the drawing of shapes and implementation of text rendering
with specific font and settings.

The following operations are performed:
- A rectangle is created from the center of the drawing bounds.
- The rectangle is drawn without a fill and with a white stroke.
- A custom font is loaded and applied to the drawer.
- A `TextWriter` is utilized to display the text "hello world" inside the rectangle, adhering to
specific styling and formatting rules.

Key Components:
- `application` establishes the visual environment.
- `Rectangle` provides a way to define the rectangular area.
- `drawer` enables isolated operations for drawing elements.
- `writer` facilitates text rendering with alignment and spacing adjustments.
