Hi,
I need to compute the bounds of an osgText::Text object in some code
of mine, with the caveat that I need these bounds before I attach it
to the scenegraph.
_geode = new osg::Geode();
_text = new osgText::Text();
_text->setPosition(POS);
_text->setLayout(osgText::Text::LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
_text->setAlignment(ALIGN);
_text->setText(STR);
_text->setColor(osg::Vec4(1, 1, 1, 1));
addChild(_geode.get());
_geode->addDrawable(_text.get());
----------------------------
_text->dirtyBound(); // this has no effect
osg::BoundingBox bounds = _text->computeBound(); // getBound
returns the same results!
return bounds;
----------------------------
osg::BoundingBox textbounds = text->bounds();
const float bottom = textbounds.yMin();
const float top = textbounds.yMax();
const float left = textbounds.xMin();
const float right = textbounds.xMax();
const float buttonsize = 75.0;
const float textoffset[2] = {-5.0, -55.0};
std::cout << "[" << left << ", " << bottom << "] -> [" << right
<< ", " << top << "]\n";
Running this code however does not return the same bounds every time...

3.40282e+38 is the value of FLT_MAX unless I'm mistaken, these appear
to be the values of a freshly initialised bounding box (BB Ctor sets
these values by default). Does the fact I'm computing these bounds
before I'm attaching the node to the SG have any importance here? The
"osghud" example program doesn't appear to attach its text objects to
any kind of viewer before it extracts the bounds, and it appears to
get correct values.
Is there some function I need to manually call to force the text
object to construct its internals before I grab the bounds? Is the
creation of the text objects internal data happening in another
thread or somehow asynchronously with my calls to getBound()/
computeBound()?
I'm using osg 2.0, the standard release, if it helps to know.
Thanks a lot,
Alan
