Adding text

So I managed to add text, but for some reason it won't change the color or the size of the text.. any idea why? 
        Text text = new Text();
        addObject(text, 694,568);

        GreenfootImage pic = new GreenfootImage(750,10);
        text.setImage(pic);
        text.getImage().drawString("This is a text!", 0, 10);
        text.getImage().setColor(Color.MAGENTA);
        text.getImage().setFont(new Font("Verdana",100));
It doesn't give me any errors or anything at all :/

Manipulate the image first, then set it

What Vercility means is set the color and font before drawing the string. Also, if the size (height) of the text is to be 100, your image needs to be much taller and the text needs to be drawn much lower than 10 pixels down. Btw, on lines 6 through 8, you can just use 'pic' instead of 'text.getImage()'.
