Is a multiline legend possible?

[sergiofenoll]

I was wondering if it's possible to have multiple characters beneath each other as the legend. I was thinking of printing some keycaps for a keyboard with 3 layers and I'd like to print the characters from each layer on the keycap.

BTW, thanks for the great project, it's been very helpful!

Multiline legends are supported but openSCAD doesn't do text wrapping as far as I can tell, so you have to do it manually. Something like this:

$outset_legends = true;
2uh() 2u() legend("a") legend("b", [0,1]) legend("c", [0,-1]) key();

produces this:

The position arguments aren't based off text size or anything so you just have to fudge it until you get it right, they'll be smaller on regular sized keycaps. Hope that helps!

Thank you! I'll try doing what you recommended.

there's now an example of this in the examples directory: https://github.com/rsheldiii/KeyV2/blob/master/examples/legends.scad
