TextureFont v0.1

Posted Sunday, 21 June, 2009 - 02:48 by objarni

I finished a rough version of the TextureFont class. The WriteCharacter/WriteString got a little tidier aswell as more optimized. For example I moved out the "Begin/End"-calls from WriteCharacter to WriteString. WriteString is the only public API for the class, example code:

    private void DrawText()
    {
      string text = string.Format("Hello! FPS={0:000.0}", fps);
 
      // Assume orthogonal 0,0,width,height projection matrix
      GL.Color3(Color.Khaki);
      GL.Translate(w / 2, h / 2, 0); // place text at center of view
      double scale = h * 0.05; // make it 5% of the height of the view
      GL.Scale(scale, scale, scale);
      GL.Rotate(rotation, 0, 0, 1);
      TextureFont texFont = new TextureFont(texture);
      texFont.WriteString(text);
    }

The TexUtil.cs file can be downloaded here, I'm releasing it under same license as OpenTK, if you are interesting in using this functionality.

Serinus - you should also consider moving the CreateTextureFromFile-call to some kind of setup-logic of you application (Main/constructor/OnLoad or similar..)

Right now you are re-loading the .png file *every frame* = extremely slow :)

Make the 'int texture' variable an instance variable instead of a local variable in OnUpdateFrame.

Thank you. It's faster then TextPrinter.
But I have a problem when I try to draw lines and write string : the lines didn't display!

        private void glChart_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!glChartLoaded)
                return;
            glChart.MakeCurrent();
            GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit);
            GL.MatrixMode(MatrixMode.Modelview);
            GL.LoadIdentity();
            GL.Viewport(0, 0, chartWidth, chartHeight);
            //======================
            DrawLines();
            DrawText();
            //======================================
            glChart.SwapBuffers();  
        }
        private void DrawText()
        {
            GL.Color3(Color.Green);
            GL.Translate(chartWidth/2,chartHeight/2,0); 
            double scale =chartWidth* 0.02; 
            GL.Scale(scale, scale, scale);
            TextureFont texFont = new TextureFont(fontID);
            texFont.WriteString("Test");
        }

Could you help me find out the problem?
Thanks!!!

Try disabling textures before drawing the lines.
