Detailed Description

The SoText2 class is a node type for visualizing 2D text aligned with the camera plane.

SoText2 text is not scaled according to the distance from the camera, and is not influenced by rotation or scaling as 3D primitives are. If these are properties that you want the text to have, you should instead use an SoText3 or SoAsciiText node.

Note that even though the size of the 2D text is not influenced by the distance from the camera, the text is still subject to the usual rules with regard to the depth buffer, so it will be obscured by graphics laying in front of it.

The text will be positioned according to the current transformation. The x origin of the text is the first pixel of the leftmost character of the text. The y origin of the text is the baseline of the first line of text (the baseline being the imaginary line on which all upper case characters are standing).

The size of the fonts on screen is decided from the SoFont::size field of a preceding SoFont-node in the scene graph, which specifies the size in pixel dimensions. This value sets the approximate vertical dimension of the letters. The default value if no SoFont-nodes are used, is 10.

One important issue about rendering performance: since the positioning and rendering of an SoText2 node depends on the current viewport and camera, having SoText2 nodes in the scene graph will lead to a cache dependency on the previously encountered SoCamera-node. This can have severe influence on the rendering performance, since if the camera is above the SoText2's nearest parent SoSeparator, the SoSeparator will not be able to cache the geometry under it.

(Even worse rendering performance will be forced if the SoSeparator::renderCaching flag is explicitly set to ON, as the SoSeparator node will then continuously generate and destruct the same cache as the camera moves.)

SoText2 nodes are therefore best positioned under their own SoSeparator node, outside areas in the scene graph that otherwise contains static geometry.

Also note that SoText2 nodes cache the ids and positions of each glyph bitmap used to render string. This means that USE of a DEF'ed SoText2 node, with a different font, will be noticeably slower than using two separate SoText2 nodes, one for each font, since it will have to recalculate glyph bitmap ids and positions for each call to GLrender().

SoScale nodes cannot be used to influence the dimensions of the rendering output of SoText2 nodes.

Member Function Documentation

◆ computeBBox()

void SoText2::computeBBox ( SoAction * action,
SbBox3f & box,
SbVec3f & center )
protectedvirtual

Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let the SoShape superclass know the exact size and weighted center point of the shape's bounding box.

The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in the local coordinate system.

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::getBoundingBox().)

The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while center is undefined upon function entry.

Implements SoShape.

◆ generatePrimitives()

void SoText2::generatePrimitives ( SoAction * action)
protectedvirtual

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoCallbackAction. It is invoked from SoShape::callback(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::callback().)

The subclass implementations uses the convenience methods SoShape::beginShape(), SoShape::shapeVertex(), and SoShape::endShape(), with SoDetail instances, to pass the primitives making up the shape back to the caller.

Implements SoShape.

◆ getClassTypeId()

SoType SoText2::getClassTypeId ( void )
static

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

◆ getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoText2::getFieldData ( void ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ getFieldDataPtr()

const SoFieldData ** SoText2::getFieldDataPtr ( void )
staticprotected

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

◆ getPrimitiveCount()

void SoText2::getPrimitiveCount ( SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * action)
virtual

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the action.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ getTypeId()

SoType SoText2::getTypeId ( void ) const
virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ GLRender()

void SoText2::GLRender ( SoGLRenderAction * action)
virtual

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

◆ initClass()

void SoText2::initClass ( void )
static

◆ rayPick()

void SoText2::rayPick ( SoRayPickAction * action)
virtual

Calculates picked point based on primitives generated by subclasses.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

Member Data Documentation

◆ justification

SoSFEnum SoText2::justification

Determines horizontal alignment of text strings.

If justification is set to SoText2::LEFT, the left edge of the first string is at the origin and all strings are aligned with their left edges. If set to SoText2::RIGHT, the right edge of the first string is at the origin and all strings are aligned with their right edges. Otherwise, if set to SoText2::CENTER, the center of the first string is at the origin and all strings are aligned with their centers. The origin is always located at the baseline of the first line of text.

Default value is SoText2::LEFT.

◆ spacing

SoSFFloat SoText2::spacing

Vertical spacing between the baselines of two consecutive horizontal lines. Default value is 1.0, which means that it is equal to the vertical size of the highest character in the bitmap alphabet.

◆ string

SoMFString SoText2::string

The set of strings to render. Each string in the multiple value field will be rendered on a separate line.

The default value of the field is a single empty string.
