ScreenFontStyle

Overview

ScreenFontStyle is an X3DFontStyleNode defines the size, family, justification, and other styles used within a screen layout. ScreenFontStyle renders text so that it appears identical to typical 2D applications by specifying pointSize in points (as in 2D document layout) rather than size in meters. Each glyph of text is rendered as a quadrilateral with a texture applied.

The ScreenFontStyle node belongs to the Layout component and its default container field is fontStyle. It is available since X3D version 3.2 or later.

Fields

SFNode [in, out] metadata NULL [X3DMetadataObject]

Metadata are not part of the X3D world and not interpreted by the X3D browser, but they can be accessed via the ECMAScript interface.

SFString [in, out] language “”

language codes consist of a primary code and a (possibly empty) series of subcodes. [ language-code = primary-code ( “-“ subcode )* ] Two-letter primary codes are reserved for language abbreviations. Two-letter primary codes include en (English), fr (French), de (German), it (Italian), nl (Dutch), el (Greek), es (Spanish), pt (Portuguese), ar (Arabic), he (Hebrew), ru (Russian), zh (Chinese), ja (Japanese), hi (Hindi), ur (Urdu), and sa (Sanskrit). Any two-letter subcode is understood to be a country code.

Warning

  • Do not wrap extra quotation marks around these SFString enumeration values, since “quotation” “marks” are only used for MFString values.

See Also

MFString [in, out] family “SERIF”

Array of quoted font family names in preference order, browsers use the first supported family.

Hints

  • Example family array might be “Times” “SERIF” Values with guaranteed support include “SERIF” “SANS” “TYPEWRITER”. SERIF and SANS are variable-width fonts (for example, Times Roman and Arial). TYPEWRITER is a fixed-width font (for example, Courier). MFString arrays can have multiple values, so “separate each individual string” “by using quote marks”. See 15.2.2.2 Font family and style for details.

Warning

  • Font family support often varies.

See Also

SFString [in, out] style “PLAIN” [“PLAIN”|”BOLD”|”ITALIC”|”BOLDITALIC”|””]

Pick one of four values for text style.

Hint

Warning

  • Do not wrap extra quotation marks around these SFString enumeration values, since “quotation” “marks” are only used for MFString values.

SFFloat [in, out] pointSize 12 (0,∞)

pointSize field specifies the size of text in points. Nominal height (in local coordinate system) of text glyphs Also sets default spacing between adjacent lines of text.

Hint

  • PointSize replaces the size field of the FontStyle node.

SFFloat [in, out] spacing 1 [0,∞)

Adjustment factor for line spacing between adjacent lines of text.

SFBool [in, out] horizontal TRUE

Whether text direction is horizontal (true) or vertical (false).

Hint

See Also

SFBool [in, out] leftToRight TRUE

Field leftToRight.

SFBool [in, out] topToBottom TRUE

Whether text direction is top-to-bottom (true) or bottom-to-top (false).

Hint

See Also

MFString [in, out] justify “BEGIN” [“BEGIN”|”END”|”FIRST”,”MIDDLE”|””]

The justify field determines alignment of the above text layout relative to the origin of the object coordinate system.

Hints

  • Preferred value is usually justify=’ “MIDDLE” “MIDDLE” ‘ for centered justification horizontally and vertically. MFString arrays can have multiple values, so “separate each individual string” “by using quote marks”. See 15.2.2.3 Direction and justification for details.

Warnings

  • Exactly two string values are provided for major and minor axis alignment. Do not use illegal values such as LEFT RIGHT TOP BOTTOM or CENTER.

Description

Hint

  • First add a Text node as a parent.
