jit.gl.textmult
Multiple 3D Texts
Description
The jit.gl.textmult object is very similar to jit.gl.multiple, but for text. It allows to treat a list of words as several jit.gl.text objects, which can be controlled through matrices.
Arguments
drawto[message]
optional
The named drawing context in which to draw (default = none). A named drawing context is a named instance of a jit.world, jit.pworld or jit.gl.node object. If no argument is provided the object will find a context implicitly.
inputs_number[integer]
optional
The number of inputs the object will have. The number of inputs determines the number of glparams that can be used.
Attributes
align[]
Text alignment mode (default = 0 (left))
color[]
The color of the mesh (default = 1. 1. 1. 1.)
enable[]
Enable flag (default = 1) When the flag is set, drawing is enabled.
position[]
The 3D origin in the form x y z (default = 0. 0. 0.)
scale[]
The 3D scaling factor in the form x y z (default = 1. 1. 1.)
texture[]
The name of the texture to be applied (default = none).
use_individual_texcoord[]
