Thanks. This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.

I have a general follow up question about osgText. I'd like to draw
the text along a path. I thought a good way to do this would have been
to rotate the text character by character. So I'd create an osgText
object for each character of text, and position/align them along the
path... but this doesn't seem to preserve spacing between characters
(this is expected, but I don't really know how to get around it), and
the space character itself (" ") as an individual osgText object seems
to have a width of zero (calculated with osg::Drawable::getBound()).
* Is the approach I'm taking a 'good' one? If not, what would be a
better methodology?
