Hi Terry,
Does OSG have any sort of convenience routine for drawing a semi-transparent rectangle behind a block of osgText? This would make text a little easier to read against distracting background imagery.
Not that I know of, but you're right, it's something that I have often needed to do. The osghud example shows that it's pretty easy to do it by taking the axis-aligned bounding box of the text and making a quad of that size (of course I'd personally add a small margin all around, but that could be a parameter in the convenience function).
Feel free to submit it. I, for one, would use it.
