<Layer> => .lua?

Yes, yes, more questions. I've scoured wowwiki and can't find anything on making layers via .lua:

Code:

<Layer level="OVERLAY">

    <FontString inherits="GameFontNormal" text="Text">

        <Anchors>

            <Anchor point="TOP" relativeTo="$parent">

                <Offset><AbsDimension x="0" y="-15"/></Offset>

            </Anchor>

        </Anchors>

    </FontString>

</Layer>

Just need various text labels displayed.

Layers aren't things you create, there are 5 preset layers that you can set Textures and FontStrings to on create or using the SetDrawLayer method.

local fontstring = frame:CreateFontString()
fontstring:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 11, "OUTLINE, MONOCHROME")
fontstring:SetText("your text")
fontstring:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", barf, "TOPLEFT", 5 , 1)

Put that in a loop and you get as many labels as you like.
