Class TextBillboardRenderer

java.lang.Object
  org.jzy3d.plot3d.text.AbstractTextRenderer
      org.jzy3d.plot3d.text.renderers.TextBillboardRenderer

All Implemented Interfaces:

ITextRenderer

public class TextBillboardRenderer
extends AbstractTextRenderer
implements ITextRenderer

A TextBillboardRenderer allows writing 2d text always facing the Camera of a 3d Scene.
TextBillboard provides the pixel definition of all characters of the ASCII alphabet. A default bitmap (plain rectangle) is provided for unrecognized characters (those that do not have an ASCII code). The bitmap library is static, and thus no overhead is generated by the use of several instances of TextBillboard.
It is however not necessary to have an instance of TextBillboard for each drawn string.
String s = new String("2d text in 3d Scene");
TextBillboard txt = new TextBillboard();
BoundingBox3d box;

txt.drawText(gl, s, Coord3d.ORIGIN, Halign.LEFT, Valign.GROUND, Color.BLACK);
box = txt.drawText(gl, glu, cam, s, Coord3d.ORIGIN, Halign.LEFT, Valign.GROUND, Color.BLACK);

Layout constants
As demonstrated in the previous example, the TextBillboardRenderer handles vertical and horizontal layout of text according to the given text coordinate.
The following picture illustrates the text layout when using the various layout constants
