DESCRIPTION

This node defines the current font type and point size for all subsequent text shapes in the scene graph. Fonts are specified with PostScript names, except for the default font. The default font is called "defaultFont" and is the standard SGI graphics font for 2D text. "Utopia" is the standard Inventor font for 3D text.

FIELDS

SoSFName name

This field defines the font name as a PostScript name. For example, Times Roman would be specified as Times-Roman. Multiple fonts can be specified by separating the font names with semicolons. When multiple fonts are specified, the first font in the list that contains a given character is used to render that character.

SoSFFloat size

This field defines the font size. The value is in points for 2D text and is in the current units for 3D text.

METHODS

SoFont()

Creates a font node with default settings.

static SoType getClassTypeId()

Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction, SoRayPickAction

Sets the font name and size in the current traversal state.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

Font {


name	"defaultFont"
size	10


}
