[PyOpenGL-Users] Display Text

[Frank C. <jsf...@ms...>]

Hi:

Is there any example to display text with wxPython?
To use bitmap font?
To use outline font?

Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Display Text

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

OpenGLContext/scenegraph/text/wxfont.py

has code for using wxPython to create aliased (i.e. non-antialiased)
bitmap fonts. wxPython doesn't AFAIK allow for extracting font outlines,
so for that you'd need to use something like the fonttools fonts in:

OpenGLContext/scenegraph/text/toolsfont.py

which uses TTFQuery/FontTools to extract font outlines from .ttf files.

You can also use GLUT fonts in a wxPython context, btw.

HTH,
Mike
