Draws the given text, expanding any tabs that are contained using the given tab expansion technique. This particular implementation renders in a 1.1 style coordinate system where ints are used and 72dpi is assumed.

Parameters:

x - the X origin >= 0

y - the Y origin >= 0

g - the graphics context

e - how to expand the tabs. If this value is null, tabs will be expanded as a space character.

startOffset - starting offset of the text in the document >= 0
