Anna, Perhaps the solution is not to do the text in the OpenGL canvas. The idea of putting Nviz display into the 2D canvas was to give it access to all the tools of the 2D canvas--zooming, panning, display export, legend/scalebar.
Use the existing d.legend tool to display a legend in a 2D layer over the 3D. No need for it to have perspective. Use the scalebar tool to add a scalebar (withou N arrow). It should be horizontal anyway and should not have perspective so that it is easier to read. Just make its length tied to the place on the OpenGL image so that if you put it in the 'distance' it will be smaller than if it is in the 'foreground'. It would be really nice if the other tools worked too: zooming and panning, profiles and measurement. But perhaps that is another project. Michael ____________________ C.
