I'm not sure I understand the question, but I don't think so. My camera always points down the +y axis, and the text always faces down the -y axis. The only scaling I do is with setCharacterSize(). And I have a MatrixTransform holding the text, but it only holds a translation, no scaling.
It seems to me the BoundingBox should be computed when you call setText(), but this doesn't happen. Something else triggers the bound to be computed later on. If I could figure out what causes the bound to be computed, this problem might make more sense. -- Terry Welsh / mogumbo 'at' gmail.com www.reallyslick.com / www.mogumbo.com > > Message: 12 > Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:44:47 +0000 > From: Robert Osfield <[email protected]> > To: OpenSceneGraph Users <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [osg-users] bound not computed > Message-ID: > <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Hi Terry, > > Are these text elements view dependent in any way?
