vcText3DSet
vcText3DSet is a geometry set used for generating 3D text. Unlike 2D text, 3D text is generated using geometry and has both a position and orientation in 3D world.
Inherits: vcGeometrySet
Properties
| Name | Type | Access | Description |
| Matrix | vcMatrix | RW | Defines the position matrix of text. |
| OffsetX | Integer | RW | Defines an offset (in pixels) for horizontal axis when text is projected on screen. |
| OffsetY | Integer | RW | Defines an offset (in pixels) for vertical axis when text is projected on screen. |
| Text | String | RW | Defines a string of characters to render as a one line of 3D text. |
Methods
| Name | Return Type | Parameters | Description |
| getTextHeight | Integer | None | Returns the calculated height of text in pixels. |
| getTextWidth | Integer | None | Returns the calculated width of text in pixels. |
| update | None | None | Updates the geometry of text in 3D world. |
Examples
Example. Create 3D text in component
| from vcScript import * app = getApplication() comp = getComponent() comp.Name = "Example" gs = comp.Geometry.createGeometrySet(VC_TEXT3DSET) #assign material to 3D text mat = app.findMaterial("red") gs.Material = mat #display component name in 3D world gs.Text = "Name: " + comp.Name #scale 3D text mtx = gs.Matrix mtx.scaleAbs(30.0, 30.0, 0) gs.Matrix = mtx gs.update() app.render() |
