Class Text2D


public class Text2D extends Shape3D
A Text2D object is a representation of a string as a texture mapped rectangle. The texture for the rectangle shows the string as rendered in the specified color with a transparent background. The appearance of the characters is specified using the font indicated by the font name, size and style (see java.awt.Font). The approximate height of the rendered string will be the font size times the rectangle scale factor, which has a default value of 1/256. For example, a 12 point font will produce characters that are about 12/256 = 0.047 meters tall. The lower left corner of the rectangle is located at (0,0,0) with the height extending along the positive y-axis and the width extending along the positive x-axis.
