Class Text

All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DNode, X3DGeometryNode, Text

public class Text extends X3DConcreteNode implements Text
Text is a 2D (flat) geometry node that can contain multiple lines of string values.

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. X3D node tooltip: [X3DGeometryNode] Text is a 2D (flat) geometry node that can contain multiple lines of string values. Layout and styling is controlled by a contained FontStyle node. Hint: String (computer science) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)</a> Hint: full internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) features are available for any written language. Hint: relates to Internationalization (i18n) <a href="http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/i18n" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/i18n</a> Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance. Hint: for advanced extensibility, authors can substitute a type-matched ProtoInstance node (with correct containerField value) for contained node content. Warning: Text node requires X3D profile='Immersive' or &lt;component name='Text' level='1'/&gt; *


Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile separate code using only the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.

      public String getStringString()
      Utility method to get String value of MFString string field, similar to getString().
      Returns:

    • setString

      public Text setString(String[] newValue)
      Accessor method to assign String array to inputOutput MFString field named string.

      Tooltip: Single or multiple string values to present as Text. Each value in the string array (including empty strings) gets displayed on a separate line. Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so separate each individual string by quote marks. Hint: Strings can contain quote marks by first escaping them with a backslash example: "say \"hello\" please" Hint: many XML tools substitute XML character references for special characters automatically if needed within an attribute value (such as &#38; for & ampersand character, or &#34; for " quotation-mark character).

      Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value). Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance. Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute. Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene. *
