/** @brief LabelAtlas is a subclass of AtlasNode.

It can be as a replacement of Label since it is MUCH faster.

LabelAtlas versus Label:
- LabelAtlas is MUCH faster than Label
- LabelAtlas "characters" have a fixed height and width
- LabelAtlas "characters" can be anything you want since they are taken from an image file

A more flexible class is LabelBMFont. It supports variable width characters and it also has a nice editor.
