TextNode in cxx ?

C++ coding using Panda3D
1

I am currently working on a school project, and I search through the panda3d src codes and found Textnode.h. After reading the documentation I still cant get my text up onto the screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :slight_smile:

Thanks.

There’s a whole section in the manual about rendering text to the screen. Have you read Text and Image Rendering and the following pages?

In the Roaming Ralph in C++ code you can also see how it creates a textnode:

  PT(TextNode) tn = new TextNode("instructions");
  tn->set_text(msg);
  NodePath tnp (win_ptr->get_aspect_2d().attach_new_node(tn));
  tnp.set_pos(-1.3,0,pos);
  tnp.set_scale(0.05);

HTH.

0o… where do you get the c++ code for the Roaming Ralph ?? Sry if this question is silly. But I only found the py code given by panda3d.

I posted it a week or so ago right here at the forums.

  PT(TextNode) tn = new TextNode("instructions"); 
  tn->set_text(msg); 
  NodePath tnp (win_ptr->get_aspect_2d().attach_new_node(tn)); 
  tnp.set_pos(-1.3,0,pos); 
  tnp.set_scale(0.05);

similarly i need help for my school’s project. but what’s the win_ptr in the above code? cause i wasnt able to download the code from your roaming ralph post. thanks. or could anyone forward a link for me to get the roaming ralph’s cxx code? thanks.

win_ptr is a pointer to the WindowFramework.
win_ptr is also called window in that manual page and in some tutorials.
Here is the link to the download of RR in C++.
