"""News-ticker style scrolling text control

    Can scroll from right to left or left to right.
    Speed of the ticking is controlled by two parameters:
        Frames per Second(FPS): How many times per second the ticker updates
        Pixels per Frame(PPF): How many pixels the text moves each update
    Low FPS with high PPF will result in "jumpy" text, lower PPF with higher FPS
    is smoother (but blurrier and more CPU intensive) text.
