[name]

A class for generating text as a single geometry. It is constructed by providing a string of text, and a hash of parameters consisting of a loaded [page:Font] and settings for the geometry's parent [page:ExtrudeBufferGeometry]. See the [page:Font], [page:FontLoader] and [page:Creating_Text] pages for additional details.

Examples

[example:webgl_geometry_text geometry / text ]


		var loader = new THREE.FontLoader();

		loader.load( 'fonts/helvetiker_regular.typeface.json', function ( font ) {

			var geometry = new THREE.TextBufferGeometry( 'Hello three.js!', {
				font: font,
				size: 80,
				height: 5,
				curveSegments: 12,
				bevelEnabled: true,
				bevelThickness: 10,
				bevelSize: 8,
				bevelOffset: 0,
				bevelSegments: 5
			} );
		} );

Constructor

[name]([param:String text], [param:Object parameters])

text — The text that needs to be shown.
parameters — Object that can contains the following parameters.

font — an instance of THREE.Font.
size — Float. Size of the text. Default is 100.
height — Float. Thickness to extrude text. Default is 50.
curveSegments — Integer. Number of points on the curves. Default is 12.
bevelEnabled — Boolean. Turn on bevel. Default is False.
bevelThickness — Float. How deep into text bevel goes. Default is 10.
bevelSize — Float. How far from text outline is bevel. Default is 8.
bevelOffset — Float. How far from text outline bevel starts. Default is 0.
bevelSegments — Integer. Number of bevel segments. Default is 3.

Available Fonts

TextGeometry uses typeface.json generated fonts. Some existing fonts can be found located in /examples/fonts and must be included in the page.

Properties

See the base [page:ExtrudeBufferGeometry] class for common properties.

[property:Object parameters]

An object with a property for each of the constructor parameters. Any modification after instantiation does not change the geometry.
