The scaling is rather interesting, setScale only works if it is done on the live OrientShape3d. So you have to make it live (by adding it to the live TG) and then do the scale. I think the "0.01" scale will be a little too less. I've no idea about the doubt no. 2
cheers, nitin -----Original Message----- From: Alejandro Allievi [mailto:allievi@;acm.org] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 12:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [JAVA3D] Text3D font size Nitin, Thanks for the reply. I am having some problems with the OrientedShape3D. This is my code: //Create Shape3D object for axis labels Font3D yF3D = new Font3D(new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,1),new FontExtrusion()); Text3D yT3D = new Text3D(yF3D , "Y"); OrientedShape3D shY = new OrientedShape3D(yT3D , new Appearance() , OrientedShape3D.ALLOW_MODE_WRITE , //I am not sure here new Point3f(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f)); shY.setScale(0.01); myTransformGroup.addChild(shY); The problems are 2: a) the setScale() does not take effect regardless of the function argument b) the OrientedShape does not adopt the behaviour (rotation) specified by the Transform3D in the TransformGroup. Do you know why this can be?
