Summary | 0009363: Support of texture fonts in VTK | ||||||||
Description | For some applications, it is necessary to have texture fonts available in VTK. Using texture fonts, an application can implement efficient and hardware-accelerated text rendering that produces text of good quality drawn in 3D model space and zoomed in/out with the model. Polygonal text is an alternative, however quality of polygonal text becomes really poor when the characters become small, and some polygons disappears. At application level, it should be possible to implement a custom text mapper similar to vtkTextMapper class but derived from vtkMapper and drawing texture-mapped labels in 3D world space. To achieve this, at least the following problems in the current VTK version should be resolved: 1. vtkFreeTypeUtilities should be able to create texture fonts. The text rendering method (bitmap, pixmap, texture, polygonal, etc.) can be requested through vtkTextProperty. 2. CMakeLists.txt in ftgl source directory should be corrected to enable texture fonts and install FTGL headers among other VTK headers. Moreover, there are some problems when one tries to include Freetype headers that come with VTK from in application sources. 3. gl2ps should be built as a shared library and installed along with its headers, so that both VTK and applications could use it to export text data to a vector format. 4. The most up-to-date FTGL release (2.1.3-5 by the moment) should be put into VTK. 5. Optionally, some cross-platform tool that enumerates font files available in the system and maps them to font names would be very helpful. Embedded VTK fonts are of no use at application level. | ||||||||
