PixelText
A special kind of text geometry where there is a texture that contains all letters of the alphabet and a rectangular geometry for each letter of the text where the corresponding part from the texture is mapped onto. This kind of text is very efficient, but has a low visual quality.

Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id | Name | DataType | PartType | Default | ValueType | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
solid | SFBool | initializeOnly | FALSE | Setting "solid" true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting "solid" false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off). Warning: default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side! | ||
string | MFString | inputOutput | Single or multiple string values to present as Text. Hint: Strings can have multiple values, so separate each string by quote marks Hint: Strings can contain quote marks by first escaping them with a backslash example: 'say \'hello\' please' Hint: many XML tools substitute XML character references automatically if needed. | |||
fontStyle | SFNode | inputOutput | NULL | Contains a FontStyle node that describes which font to use for the text. | ||
length | MFFloat | inputOutput | Array of length values for each text string in the local coordinate system. Each string is stretched or compressed to fit. | |||
maxExtent | SFFloat | inputOutput | 0.0 | Limits/compresses all text strings if max string length is longer than maxExtent, as measured in local coordinate system. | ||
lineBounds | MFVec2f | outputOnly | Limits the length of individual lines of the text. The length is measured in the local coordinate system. | |||
textBounds | SFVec2f | outputOnly | Provides the bounding box of the text geometry. | |||
metadata | SFNode | inputOutput | MetadataObject | container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element |
