public class TextString3D
extends GRShadedShape

An actor that encapsulates 3D text shapes in the GR domain. The text port/parameter gives the text to be displayed. The fontSize parameter gives the size of the font. The extrusionDepth parameter specifies how deep the 3-D rendering of the text should be. The alignment parameter gives the alignment of the text relative to the position of the object. The fontFamily parameter specifies the font family. The rest of the parameters are described in the base class.

Field Detail

alignment

public StringParameter alignment
The alignment of the text. This is a string that defaults to "center". The recognized values are "center", "first", and "last". A value of "first" means that the first character is put on the position of the object, whereas "last" means that the last character is put on the position. Note that "left" and "right" would make no sense, since the orientation is arbitrary.


extrusionDepth

public Parameter extrusionDepth
The depth of the extrusion of the text. This is a double that defaults to 0.2.


fontFamily

public StringParameter fontFamily
The font family. This is a string that defaults to "SansSerif", a font that is guaranteed by Java to always be present.


fontSize

public Parameter fontSize
The font size. This is a double that defaults to 1.0.


text

public PortParameter text
The text to display.


_containedNode

private javax.media.j3d.Node _containedNode
The node.


_scaleTransform

private javax.media.j3d.Transform3D _scaleTransform
If changes to the font size are allowed, this is the transform that applies them.


_textGeometry

private javax.media.j3d.Text3D _textGeometry
The text geometry.

Constructor Detail

TextString3D

public TextString3D(CompositeEntity container,
                    java.lang.String name)
             throws IllegalActionException,
                    NameDuplicationException
Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this actor.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.
Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException
If the attribute is text, then update the displayed text string.

Overrides:
attributeChanged in class GRShadedShape
Parameters:
attribute - The attribute.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If thrown by the parent class.

prefire

public boolean prefire()
                throws IllegalActionException
Override the base class to update the text parameter from the value given at the port, if any.

Specified by:
prefire in interface Executable
Overrides:
prefire in class GRShadedShape
Returns:
False if the scene graph has already been initialized.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If thrown by the parent class.

_createModel

protected void _createModel()
                     throws IllegalActionException
Create the shape and appearance of the encapsulated text.

Overrides:

Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the value of some parameters can't be obtained.

_getNodeObject

protected javax.media.j3d.Node _getNodeObject()
Return the encapsulated Java3D node of this 3D actor. The encapsulated node for this actor is a Java3D Text3D
