Hi all,
Nitin, thanks for the replies before. I am reposting my questions with
some more details.
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));
myTransformGroup.addChild(shY);
shY.setScale(0.01);
I am having 2 problems with the OrientedShape3D and the Text3D font size:
a) the setScale() does not take effect regardless of the value in the
function argument.
This seems to be the case whether OrientedShape3d is live or not. The
problem with
this is that the Sting "X" in the Text3D object is huge (1 meter high).
b) the OrientedShape does not adopt the behaviour (rotation) I have
specified
in the Transform3D in myTransformGroup.
Does anybody know why these things are happening? Thanks for any help.
