[osg-users] Compute line numbers for Glyphs in Text class

[Ferran Pallarès]

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your answer.

I couldn't find GlyphQuads::_coords, parhaps you meant TextBase::_coords?
If that's the case, is each character represented by a single element (Vec3)
in the TextBase::_coords vector? (maybe the coordinates of the top-left
corner?)

Regarding the Text::CharacterSize, I understand you were referring to
TextBase::getCharacterHeight (as the height is what it's actually set by
the TestBase::setCharacterSize function). Is TextBase::getCharacterHeight
function equivalent to Glyph::getHeight function? If not, what are the
differences?

If I've understood correctly, I should be able to obtain the line number
for a given glyph i just by dividing it's vertical coordinate
(*_coords)[i].y() by the character/glyph height
_quads->_glyphs[i]->getHeight. Is this correct?

Thank you!,
Ferran
