TEXTS OUTPUT: DISPLAY ALL PEN COLORS (USING PEN)

This example shows the entire collection of colors that can be used as a pen to color texts. Thanks to the variable PEN COLORS, it is possible to iterate between the first color (0) to the last one and to draw a text with a specific color index, by using the command PEN.
