Just a little up

No one has ever tried to put a background on a osgText ?

Thanks

 Hi all,

 I'm looking at a way to put a geometry (planar surface) as background of an
 osgText...

 I was thinking on a mix between billboard geode, and something else to
 manage the geometry to have the size constant in screen coordinates... but
 no way to do it as simply as osgText !

 Is there any implementation approaching what I intend to do ? I hope yes...

 else...
 Am I obliged to implement my self something from zero ? any idea to do it
 more faster ?
 Is it interesting for OSG to have this as a new feature for osgText::text ?

 thanks,

 regards,

 Vincent

Hi,

I've used coloured quads behind text, but it was for static HUD text, 
not dynamic which I think is what you want.

Exactly ! I'm looking at dynamic osgText.
I
 have tried to add quads in osgText (modifying osg sources), when
text-setDrawMode(osgText::Text::BOUNDINGBOX) is activated... but text
letters and background melt is not very beautiful... I'm ajusting some
parameters... but I don't thing it is enough.

Thanks,

Re: [osg-users] osgText background

I've done something like that.
Each time I change the text, I recompute the geometry (quad) based on the 
Text's Drawable getBound().
It works for plane aligned text (xy, xz or yz). If you want to do that for 
screen aligned text, you'll probably have to look osgText code to have the 
exact size of the Text in screen coordinates.
I would not use a billboard in your case, since you'll find difficult to have a 
billboard with a center of rotation that match with your text (especially if 
the text is dynamic). Try of quad in a HUD, with screen coordinates extracted 
from your text, and something smart with z-buffer parameters to have your text 
over your quad :)
