Multi-line text node

[tokola]

Is this possible? I couldn't find a way to insert special characters to a text node (e.g. TAB or RETURN).

Thanks!

Here's example code that uses the newline character to create multiple lines in a text object:

import viz
viz.go()

gallery = viz.addChild('gallery.osgb')

text = viz.addText('line 1\nline 2\nline 3',parent=viz.SCREEN,pos=[0.5,0.5,0])
text.alignment(viz.ALIGN_CENTER)

Thanks Jeff. I actually just found it and wanted to post it.
Is there a way to insert other special characters, like TABs?

Hello tokola,

didn't you asked the exact same question in another thread just a week ago?

There I stated that using "\t" should insert a tab into your string.

Best,
Johannes

I am so sorry. You're absolutely right. I totally forgot about it. I think dementia is on the way

I'll probably delete one of the two (if possible) to avoid unnecessary clutter of the forum.
