WorldViz User Forum - Displaying Text on new Window

Hi all,

I have an application which can either run in single screen mode or three screen mode.

Single screen mode uses viz.MainView only and three screen mode, I use three custom windows.

My only problem is when I attempt to display text in the centre of the application. The parent of the text by default is viz.SCREEN. I attempt to reset this if I am in three screen mode to the centre screen.

Unfortunately, I don't see the text. I don't get errors either.

Screen Code:

Code:



# The following is also done for the left window and right window.



centreWindow = viz.add(viz.WINDOW)

centreWindow.setPosition(1.0/3, 1.0)

centreWindow.setSize(1.0/3, 1.0)

centreWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)

centreWindow.fov(fieldOfView,aspectRatio)

centreView = viz.add(viz.VIEWPOINT)

centreWindow.setView(centreView)



def returnScreen():

        if(threeScreen):

                return centreWindow

        else:

                return False

Here is my default text code:

Code:

self.trialInstructions = "TEXT"

self.text = viz.addText(self.trialInstructions, parent=viz.SCREEN)

self.text.color(viz.WHITE)

self.text.setPosition(0.5,0.5)

self.text.alignment(viz.ALIGN_CENTER_CENTER)

self.text.fontSize(40)

self.text.visible(viz.OFF)

During three screen mode, I run this code:

Code:

if not(screen.returnScreen() == False):

        print otherScreen

        self.text.setParent(otherScreen)



self.text.visible(viz.ON)

Can anyone see the mistake I am making?

Thanks
