Hi Sherman, The issue you're seeing is probably a precision issue since OpenGL works in floats. I've seen a similar effect with Text objects in my applications. One way to reduce this precision problem is to to not position your text using the setPosition function but to position it by using a MatrixTransform as the parent of the geode containing your text. This will allow OSG to accumulate the transformation and camera matrices in doubles and only convert to float the very last moment to increase precision. It is the same technique that osgdem uses when managing its tiles.
Hope this help! Jason On 9/8/07, sherman wilcox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm having a bit of trouble with mangled text if I zoom in to close. > This text is on an osgDem generated ellispoid.
