Hi Cory,
I also have a toolbar button to turn labels on or off. What is the best
way to toggle the visible state of the osgText::Text instances when my
user asks to enable or disable these labels? I think I could make the
text transparent, but that feels wrong. Any suggestions?
If you want to toggle visibility of all your text elements under a same
Geode, you can use the node mask on the Geode.
If you want to control visibility of each text element independently,
you could create one Geode for each, which will consume more memory but
might not matter depending on the number of text elements you have. Or
you could use a Drawable::DrawCallback attached to each text element to
decide if you want to draw the text or not (call the drawable's
drawImplementation() or not). You could also subclass osgText::Text and
override its drawImplementation() method to simply exit if some boolean
attribute is false (like _visible).
So you have a few options. Hope this helps,
J-S
