Class that can be used to generate text for rendering.
Caches vertices, character info, and line info for memory friendlyness.

| characterCount | The number of characters that have been generated. |
| characterCountVisible | The number of characters that have been generated and are included in the visible lines. |
| characters | Array of generated characters. |
| fontSizeUsedForBestFit | The size of the font that was found if using best fit mode. |
| lineCount | Number of text lines generated. |
| lines | Information about each generated text line. |
| rectExtents | Extents of the generated text in rect format. |
| vertexCount | Number of vertices generated. |
| verts | Array of generated vertices. |
| TextGenerator | Create a TextGenerator. |
| GetCharacters | Populate the given List with UICharInfo. |
| GetCharactersArray | Returns the current UICharInfo. |
| GetLines | Populate the given list with UILineInfo. |
| GetLinesArray | Returns the current UILineInfo. |
| GetPreferredHeight | Given a string and settings, returns the preferred height for a container that would hold this text. |
| GetPreferredWidth | Given a string and settings, returns the preferred width for a container that would hold this text. |
| GetVertices | Populate the given list with generated Vertices. |
| GetVerticesArray | Returns the current UILineInfo. |
| Invalidate | Mark the text generator as invalid. This will force a full text generation the next time Populate is called. |
| Populate | Will generate the vertices and other data for the given string with the given settings. |
