lib.sprite.TextSprites
in lib.sprite
Creates Points and Sprites from a text that can be animated and then rendered with [DrawPointSprites] or [DrawPointSpritesShaded].
This operator is an advanced solution that loads a BmFont fond definition and the matching MSDF (multichannel distance field) texture and generates a set of buffers. This buffers can then be modified and combined with other operators.
The Point - buffer includes position, orientation and W (size). The Sprite - buffer contains additional attributes for rendering like texture UV coordinates for characters, pivot, size and layout information.
Some tips:
- You might replace the Point buffer with another buffer (e.g. [RadialPoints].
- For rending basic text usage consider using [Text].
Check the examples.
