Crossing Lines
<![CDATA[
StyledText offers three methods for redrawing its contents.
void redraw(): redraws the entire contents of the StyledText.
To restrict what's redrawn, use one of the other two redrawing methods:
void redraw(int x, int y, int width, int height, boolean all)
void redrawRange(int start, int length, boolean clearBackground)
