SGtext

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - SG/Solids
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 1.0, Creation date: 2013-01-16, Last change: 2025-09-14

returns a SG that does fit on the surface on another SG

Description

This procedure allows very convenient to set text string on surfaces of solid geometries.

See Also: SGtext , SGoftext , VLFLtextimage , SGtextstamp

Example Illustration

 missing image of SGtext(SG,stext,ez,sx,sy,ha)

Syntax

SGT=SGtext(SG,stext,ez,[sx,sy,ha])

Input Parameter

SG: Solid Geometry to mount the text
stext: String to mount, lines with "\n"
ez: Normal vector/Rotation of the union area to mount on [x y z w]
sx: optional parameter for the size
sy: size in y
ha: horizontal alignment (if several lines) such as 'l' or 'r'

Output Parameter

SGT: Solid geometry of the text string

Examples

Create text with or without an existing solid:
SGtext(SGbox([30,20,1]),sprintf('TL:%s',datestrroman),[0 0 1],30);
SGtext([],sprintf('TL:%s',datestrroman),[0 -1 0],30);
SGtext([],sprintf('TL:%s',datestrroman),[0 -1 0 pi/6],10); rotation
