NAME

DoText − Create a text primitive object

SYNOPSIS

C:

DtObject DoText(position, u, v, string)
DtPoint3 position;
DtVector3 u, v;
DtPtr string;

FORTRAN:

INTEGER∗4 DOTXT(POSITN, U, V, STRING, N)
REAL∗8 POSITN(3)
REAL∗8 U(3), V(3)
INTEGER∗4 N
CHARACTER∗N STRING

DESCRIPTION

DoText creates a text primitive object that defines a string of text to be rendered at a specified position and in a specified text plane. 

The parameter position specifies a point in space where the text will be based.  The parameters u and v are two three-dimensional vectors used to determine the plane in which the text will sit.  The u and v vectors need not be unit vectors, but they must be perpendicular to each other for well-defined results.  The parameter string is the actual text. 

FORTRAN SPECIFIC

The parameter STRING is string of N characters.
