[osg-users] Anti-Grain and OpenSceneGraph

Has anyone used the Anti-Grain library in OpenSceneGraph? I would like to get a better looking text display than the osgText node kit does. http://www.antigrain.com/index.html Thanks, Kurt _ Windows Live™ Hotmail®…more than jus

Re: [osg-users] Anti-Grain and OpenSceneGraph

Jeremy, Kurt, I care too! I admit, I've been lurking on the font quality issues because in our apps I have very tight control of the text size and positioning, so can tweak the placement/resolution to get the right look. However developments in this area wld be extremely valuable to me in the lon

Re: [osg-users] Anti-Grain and OpenSceneGraph

Hi Jeremy, Kurt, and David, I care too;) In our application we render text as polygon meshes and outlines using FTGL (http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/henryj/code/). The problem with this approach is that FTGL is a pure rendering library and does not have any support for complex scripts (i.e.

-fast text. :) osgPango is good if you're willing to sacrifice a _bit_ of speed (it is slower since I'm not using a custom render function, just special setups of osg::Geometry) for font quality instead, particularly 2D pixel-aligned quality. > > > Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 11:17:11

Jeremy, Does osgPango support complex scripting for Arabic, etc.? Glenn Waldron : Pelican Mapping : http://pelicanmapping.com : +1.703.652.4791 On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 8:55 AM, John Vidar Larring wrote: > Hi Jeremy, Kurt, and David, > > I care too;) In our application we render text as polygo

Thanks Jeremy. This Arabic should translate roughly to "user interface": التربيط التبادلي للمستخدم Glenn Waldron : Pelican Mapping : http://pelicanmapping.com : +1.703.652.4791 On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 2:17 PM, Jeremy Moles wrote: > On Wed, 2009-01-28 at 13:58 -0500, Glenn Waldron wrote: > >

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE We're using glBitmap for 2d axially aligned text. Some infrastructure allows us to take advantage of Unicode TTF glyphs using user defined sizes. It's the same approach, but far more efficient, as glutBitmapCharacter. Bob Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
