I'm trying to get a fitting bounding box under my text in jit.gl.text in 3d mode but i get some strange behaviour.

Is it possible within the jit.gl.text object to generate a filled box around the text?

Now I try to use a gridshape to match the box. I use a getbounds message to get the position of the box but it's hard to fit it right. Am I missing something?

i would do it differently, by using the bounds coords to contstuct vertices for jit.gl.mesh.

i would also use jit.anim.node to parent the transformations to each object, thereby making it very easy to provide offset scale and position values to the background rectangle, if desired.

I tried also to fix it with the jit.anim.node but i see now i used it the wrong way, thanks for the clarification!

There seems to be an issue if I use a jit.textfile to feed the jit.gl.text. When doing so, the get bounds options cannot be ticked. Is this a bug or is it because I'm sending a matrix instead of text?

Thanks for sharing the information. Great Job!

To answer my own question, it doesn't seem to matter as the getbounds message works anyway.
