create a "jit.gl.text" and set the "mode" attribute to "3d"

Ahhh I see, got it. It is working now. Thanks!

Another quick question...

I am trying to send a message to "jit.gl.text" to set the text. Here is my code...

var gridShapeLabel = new JitterObject("jit.gl.text", context); gridShapeLabel.message("text", "Test");

I get the following error: js: testcode.js: Javascript TypeError: gridShapeLabel.message is not a function, line 79 Is there something I am missing here? What is the best practice for sending a jitter object a message?

Any ideas?

Okay I am slowly getting there, thanks for your help. I have an example patch where I define a jit.gl.render where I am trying to add some jit.gl.text from javascript. Here is my test patch and code. Is there any reason why my text is not showing up?

autowatch = 1;

// variables var renderer; var context = "journey-ctx"

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function findObj(objname) { var obj = this.patcher.firstobject; while(obj != null) { if(obj.varname == objname) return obj;

nextobj = obj.nextobject; if(obj == nextobj ) break; else obj = nextobj ; } return null; }

function bang() { renderer = findObj("theRenderer"); if(renderer == null){ post("Error: could not find renderer"); return; }

var gridShapeLabel = new JitterObject("jit.gl.text", context); gridShapeLabel.text = "some text"; gridShapeLabel.gl_color = "1. 1. 1. 1."; gridShapeLabel.align = 1; gridShapeLabel.fontsize = 20; gridShapeLabel.mode = "3d";

post("creating text");

}

Any one have an idea what I may be missing?

your syntax on the text message is still incorrect. compare it to what i posted in my last reply.

you also need to set array attributes with arrays, not strings, e.g. gridShapeLabel.gl_color = [1, 1, 1, 1];

Okay got it now. Thanks!
