Well, i can say that i've started using text2d since java1.3beta changing the text size has never worked since i've used it, in fact, i posted a message to this news group a while ago about this very problem. it's probably not that big of a fix, but i'm not quite sure why the *initial* string-font rasterizing would never fail, and the subsequent changes could affect the texture size to non-power of 2 and thus be bad textures... wouldn't these call the same function, logically? regardless...
the solution? don't use text2d to change text. it's broken at the moment. i have no idea if there's a bug in the bugparade yet. clear and recreate text2d objects over and over... it works until there's memory leaks and all crashes. It does indeed to seem like a power of two issue, since lots of tests i've come up to a working point size/font/string length that works for an fps counter, but other than cudging that data together yourself (i would suppose there's a formula if you know the size/font/way font is rasterized to a texture to tell what the legal string length would be, and pad from there) is the only way i can see to get this workaround happening. help, java3d team! ;) >From: Marc Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] My code broken with Java3d 1.3? >Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 23:07:48 GMT > > > > My code seems to be behaving differently / not working under Java3D >1.3 > > > whereas it was previously OK with Java3d 1.2 > > > From the stack trace i would *guess* that your texture size is not a >power of > > 2, which textures should be, maybe in 1.3 they fixed something that was >not > > checking this before?, anyway, like i said, thats just my guess from the >stack > > message, what size is the texture in reality? > >Yes, I guessed that much thanks ;-) > >My point is, I'm using Text2D and it has no texture size parameters that >I know of – it works it out for you based on the size of and length of >the text. > >At least it used to in Java3D 1.2 – it seems broken in 1.3 > >Anyone successfully using Text2D with Java3d 1.3? > >Thanks >Marc > >==========================================================================To >unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body >of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
