Hi David,<br>
In these examples the text is shown at some corner.<br>
I have a vtkVectorText which is part if the scene. Code:<br>
<br>
vtkVectorText vectorText = new vtkVectorText();<br>
vectorText.SetText(text);<br>
<br>
vtkPolyDataMapper textMapper = vtkPolyDataMapper.New();<br>
textMapper.SetInputConnection(vectorText.GetOutputPort());<br>
<br>
//face the text always to the camera<br>
TextActor = new vtkFollower();<br>
TextActor.SetMapper(textMapper);<br>
TextActor.SetCamera(activeCamera);<br>
TextActor.GetProperty().SetColor(color.R, color.G, color.B);<br>
TextActor.SetPosition(textLocation.X, textLocation.Y,<br>
textLocation.Z);<br>
TextActor.SetScale(5);<br>
<br>
The only problem is that when the text is behind an object i cannot see it.<br>
How can i make it appear all the time?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Max<br>
<br>
