FontStyle Node
This node is used inside the Text node
to specify the display properties of the strings. The following
fields are present:
family specifies the font family. Values for this field are:
"SERIF", "SANS", "TYPEWRITER".
style specifies the font style. Values for this field are: "PLAIN",
"BOLD", "ITALIC", "BOLDITALIC".
horizontal is a boolean field which specifies if the text is
to be displayed horizontally.
leftToRight is a boolean field which specifies if the text is
displayed left to right or right to left (Arabic way)
topToBottom is a boolean field which specifies if the text is
displayed top to bottom or bottom to top (Chinese way).
justify specifies justification both along the major and the
minor direction. If horizontal is TRUE then the major direction is horizontal
and the minor direction is vertical, otherwise the major direction is vertical
and the minor direction is horizontal. If only one value is specified then
it refers to the major direction. The default value for the minor direction
is "FIRST". There are four possible values for each justification:
"FIRST", "BEGIN" (left justified), "MIDDLE"
(centered), and "END" (right justified). "BEGIN" and
"FIRST" are equivalent except for the minor direction when horizontal
is TRUE (see note bellow).
language specifies the character set. "en" for English,"en_US"
for US english, "zh" for Chinese, etc...
size specifies character height in VRML units.
spacing specifies the spacing between lines.
Syntax:
|
FontStyle { |
family "SERIF"
horizontal TRUE
justify "BEGIN"
language ""
leftToRight TRUE
size 1.0
spacing 1.0
topToBottom TRUE
|
} |
|
Important: VRML is case-sensitive, be careful.
Note: When horizontal is TRUE the following difference occurs in the minor
direction justification between using "FIRST" and "BEGIN":
"FIRST": The baseline of the first line is placed at the X axis.
"BEGIN": If topToBottom is TRUE the top edge of the first line
is the placed at the X axis, else the bottom edge of the first line is
placed at the X axis.
