Hello everyone! :D We are porting our application from OSG 2.9.8 to OSG 3.0.0 but the osgText::Text is not working properly. I am creating an osgText::Text with SCREEN axis alignment and SCREEN_COORDS character size mode, but it does not show up. In order to make it show up I have to create a random drawable (drawables with zero size eg. sphere with zero radius won't work) and add it to the osgText::Text's Geode. At the start I thought I was doing something wrong. So, I stripped down the osgText Example and I realized that the example has the same problem. If you trip down everything but 'text5' text, and remove the sphere that is attached on the 'text5' text's geode, then you won't be able to see the text. Now, If you take this code and compile it using OSG 2.9.8 the text will be visible! Am I missing something? Here is a simple example of the problem. Ready to compile and run (just add the headers):
Code: osgText::Text* createText( const osg::Vec3& position ) { osgText::Text* text = new osgText::Text(); text->setColor(osg::Vec4(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f)); text->setCharacterSize(32.0f); text->setPosition(position); text->setAxisAlignment(osgText::Text::SCREEN); text->setCharacterSizeMode(osgText::Text::SCREEN_COORDS); text->setDrawMode(osgText::Text::TEXT | osgText::Text::BOUNDINGBOX); text->setText("CharacterSizeMode SCREEN_COORDS(size 32.0)"); return text; } int main( int agc, char** argv ) { osg::Group* root = new osg::Group; osgText::Text* text01 = createText( osg::Vec3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f) ); osg::Geode* text01Geode = new osg::Geode(); text01Geode->addDrawable(text01); root->addChild(text01Geode); /// uncomment the following two lines and the text will appear! //osg::ShapeDrawable* shape = new osg::ShapeDrawable(new osg::Sphere(osg::Vec3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f),0.00001f)); //text01Geode->addDrawable(shape); osgViewer::Viewer viewer; viewer.setSceneData(root); viewer.setUpViewInWindow(50,50,800,600); viewer.run(); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } Thank you for your time!
