StaticStringGauge

The StaticStringGauge simply places a label on the screen in the specified font and colour. Perhaps I should have called it LabelGauge!

Example:

<gauge>
    <name>mphlabel</name>
    <type>StaticStringGauge</type>
    <x>194</x>
    <y>334</y>
    <fontsize>23</fontsize>
    <string>mph</string>
    <colours>blackwhite</colours>
    <visible>1</visible>
    <alwaysontop>0</alwaysontop>
</gauge>
