      //Creating a text object
      String str1 = "Hi ";
      Text text1 = new Text(30.0, 110.0, str1);
      //Setting the font
      Font font1 = Font.font("Brush Script MT", FontWeight.BOLD, 75);
      text1.setFont(font1);
      //Setting the color of the text
      text1.setFill(Color.CORAL);
      text1.setStrokeWidth(1);
      text1.setStroke(Color.CHOCOLATE);
      String str2 = "Welcome To";
      Text text2 = new Text(40.0, 110.0, str2);
      Font font2 = Font.font("Verdana", FontWeight.LIGHT, 25);
      text2.setFont(font2);
      //Setting the color of the text

      text3.setStroke(Color.CRIMSON);
      //Creating the text flow
      TextFlow textFlow = new TextFlow();
      textFlow.getChildren().addAll(text1, text2, text3);
      //Setting the stage
      Group root = new Group(textFlow);
      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 595, 150, Color.BEIGE);
