pyvista.Text3D#

Text3D(string, depth=None, width=None, height=None, center=(0, 0, 0), normal=(0, 0, 1))[source]#

Create 3D text from a string.

The text may be configured to have a specified width, height or depth.

Parameters:

stringstr: String to generate 3D text from. If None or an empty string, the output mesh will have a single point at center.
depthfloat, optional: Depth of the text. If None, the depth is set to half the height by default. Set to 0.0 for planar text.

Changed in version 0.43: The default depth is now calculated dynamically as half the height. Previously, the default depth had a fixed value of 0.5.
widthfloat, optional: Width of the text. If None, the width is scaled proportional to height.

New in version 0.43.
heightfloat, optional: Height of the text. If None, the height is scaled proportional to width.

New in version 0.43.
centerSequence[float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0): Center of the text, defined as the middle of the axis-aligned bounding box of the text.

New in version 0.43.
normalSequence[float], default: (0.0, 0.0, 1.0): Normal direction of the text. The direction is parallel to the depth of the text and points away from the front surface of the text.

New in version 0.43.
