They would all be useful! If alignment to the baseline is done, that 
would be a good time to add other alignments also.

Peter, you might want to take a look at wx.lib.floatcanvas -- the Text 
object in there has alignment to top|center|bottom, and 
left|center|right -- it was a bit of a pain to write.
