-- the text field with default system font
local textfield = TextField.new(nil, mystring)

-- we set the string that will be used as sample for determining text line height
textfield:setSample(mystring)

-- then we set the layout: width, height, line spacing and justify center
textfield:setLayout( {w=200, h=100, lineSpacing=7, flags=FontBase.TLF_CENTER} )
