Render bitmap text Draws bitmap text in the named drawing context. The text can be sent as a symbol, a list of symbols, or as a jit.matrix containing char data. When a jit.matrix is used, each row of the matrix is interpreted as one line of text. Cycling '74 Jitter Jitter OpenGL messages to this 3d object TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE matrix output if enabled TEXT_HERE dumpout TEXT_HERE Appends to the stored text Appends the specified symbol or list to the stored text string. Set the font face Specifies the face variant of the current font. One or more face variants may be specified. The supported font faces are normal, bold, and italic. Note that some fonts do not contain different faces. Set the drawing font and size Specifies the font in which to draw. An optional size parameter can follow the font. Set font size Specifies the size in which to draw. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Replace the stored text Replaces the current text string with a symbol or list of symbols. Text alignment Alignment for rows of text. (default = 0 (left))

Floating-point precision When float point precision rounding is enabled set via the floatchomp attribute, this value sets the precision of the number.

(default = 0) Precision TEXT_HERE Screen mode Macintosh only
If screenmode = 1, some 3D transformations are skipped so that pixel-accurate text can be drawn. The origin of the text on screen is determined by the usual projection of the object's position, but the text remains the same size. Rotation is only applied around the z axis. Screenmode is useful for making fixed-size labels which follow objects in space. With screenmode off, the text is transformed in space in the usual way for an OB3D-group object. (default = 1) Slant TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Tracking (intra-character spacing) The tracking (intra-character spacing) as a multiple of the standard tracking for the face.

The jit.gl.text2d object requires one argument: the name of a drawing context. A named drawing context is a named instance of a jit.window, jit.pwindow, or jit.matrix object that has an instance of the jit.gl.render object associated with it. Additionally it can reference the name of a jit.gl.node sub-context. This value may also be set via the OB3D drawto attribute. If no argument is present, the object is implicitly added to the first valid drawing context or sub-context found in the current patch or by searching up the patcher hierarchy.

Notes:

Due to differences in implementation, the rotate, scale, screenmode, classic, and interp attributes are currently only supported on Macintosh. On PC, it behaves similar to when classic mode on Macintosh is turned on.

On Macintosh, this object interprets the input text as Unicode, allowing the display of non-Roman fonts. The Unicode encoding to use is determined based on the current font, set using the font message, and the operating system's script system and region code settings.

Note: The Windows version of this object does not suport Unicode.
