Hi Brian,

I am not some of theses geniuses but thinking about Text2D for some days
now.
Basically I had the problem that I needed to enlarge my labels, thats why
I ended up scaling the Text2D anyway. Today I was thinking about adding a
scale for my hole scene, except for my labels.

I have

BG root
      |
      TG (scaling)
                 |
                 TG (move to place in world)
                                           |
                                           TG(scale labels bigger)
                                           |                     |
                                           |                     Text2D
                                           |
                                           Shape3D (to be labelled)

Knowing the scale factor of the overall Scaling TG , I think it is
possible to rescale the Text2D in changing the TG(scale labels
bigger) with something like:

Transform3D scalebigger = new Transform3D();
scalebigger.setScale(new
Vector3d(scalebigger*1/scaling,scalebigger*1/scaling,scalebigger*1/scaling));
scaleTG.setTransform(scalebigger);
This should only affect the Text2D in the above sceneGraph.
