Hi Daniel:
I recall having looked at the Text2D API awhile back. Doug Gehringer
will be able to give you the expert info. on these, but let me try.
I think that the rectangleScaleFactor is a field in the Text2D API
which cannot be set before the creation of the actual Text2D ( a shape3D )
since Text2D does not have a parameterless constructor. If you
invoke the "setRectangleScaleFactor" method on an existing Text2D
object it will simply update the field and do nothing else, i.e,
it will not change the size of your Text2D string. If you do
want to see a change in the existing Text2D object, my guess is that
you can do text2D.setRectangleScaleFactor("yourfactor") and subsequently
text2D.setString("yourtext").
You can use the above logic before your text2D becomes live; if you
want to do it after it gets live, then you may have to set the
appropriate "shape3d geometry update capability bit" on the text2D
object.
Hope this helps, and please do consult others
