class mrpt::opengl::CText3D

A 3D text (rendered with OpenGL primitives), with selectable font face and drawing style.

Use setString and setFont to change the text displayed by this object (can be multi-lined).

Text is drawn along the (+X,+Y) axes.

Default size of characters is “1.0 units”. Change it with the standard method CRenderizable::setScale() as with any other 3D object. The color can be also changed with standard methods in the base class CRenderizable.

This class is based on code from libcvd (BSD, http://www.edwardrosten.com/cvd/)

Methods

void setString(const std::string& s)

Sets the displayed string.

const std::string& getString() const

Returns the currently text associated to this object.

void setFont(const std::string& font)

Changes the font name, among accepted values: “sans”, “mono”, “serif”.

const std::string& getFont() const

Returns the text font.

void setTextStyle(const mrpt::opengl::TOpenGLFontStyle text_style)

Change drawing style: FILL, OUTLINE, NICE.

mrpt::opengl::TOpenGLFontStyle getTextStyle() const

Gets the current drawing style.

virtual mrpt::math::TBoundingBox getBoundingBox() const

Evaluates the bounding box of this object (including possible children) in the coordinate frame of the object parent.

virtual void toYAMLMap(mrpt::containers::yaml& propertiesMap) const

Used from COpenGLScene::asYAML().
