Text and Text3D:
1. A new line should be started after a line's last hyphen or before
its last whitespace.
2. If no suitable place to break a line is found, just start new line
after the last character that fits on the line.
3. Whitespace should be removed from the beginning of the new line
(already worked in Text, but not in Text3D).
Line wrapping looks a lot better now with no more lone periods
appearing at the beginning of lines.
Also, right-justified text is more accurate now (slashes would hang
off the end of lines before). With this new code I spotted one
instance where a hyphen stuck out too far, but in general it looks
better. Centered text was not perfect before and still isn't, but I
can't see any significant increase or decrease in quality. The casual
observer would probably never notice a problem.
Also fixed a whitespace problem in Text3D. Not all whitespace was
being removed from the beginning of lines. Now it is all being
removed in the same manner as in Text."

, interpolating through HSV space gives a rainbow color effect which
does not mimic the simple RGB color interpolation that OpenGL does.
It's overkill and causes unexpected visual artifacts. In the attached
files I've removed the conversion to HSV so that interpolation happens
in RGB space."
behind osgText::Text. I made it so the box would get drawn using
whichever BackdropImplementation was selected. However, I did not
implement STENCIL_BUFFER. In that case it defaults to drawing the
bounding box using POLYGON_OFFSET instead.
Also made it so the BOUNDINGBOX and FILLEDBOUNDINGBOX are drawn with a
settable color and margin size.
While I was at it I tightened up the values applied with DEPTH_RANGE
and POLYGON_OFFSET, not just for drawing the bounding box but also for
drawing backdrop text (these values must be coupled since the bounding
box has to be drawn deeper in Z than the backdrop text). The values
in use before seemed like overkill and I was seeing some z-clipping
with my background scenery in the case of DEPTH_RANGE. If there was a
good reason for the large values please let me know...."
I found that changing the alignment of a text object does not work properly if the text contains newline characters. I've attached a simple test case that shows the problem. If I set the text AFTER setting the alignment, everything works fine. But if I set the text BEFORE setting the alignment then the text is displayed incorrectly.
The fix is very simple. Instead of calling computePositions() in TextBase::setAlignment(), it calls computeGlyphRepresentation(). I've attached the modified TextBase.cpp."
Also, there was also a small bug in osgDB's CMakeLists.txt that was causing an error when I tested with CMake 2.4.4.

osgText::Text and osgText::Text3D use the same font file.
The first really load the file and obtain an osgText::Font object,
the second use the cache created during the first load of the
font file, and so obtain an osgText::Font object instead of
osgText::Font3D object. To obtain an osgText::Font3D object,
osgText::Text3D call osgDB::readObjectFile(...) with an option
to specify the plugin we want an osgText::Font3D instead of
osgText::Font.
Generalised Problem:
In osgDB::Registry, loaded file cache is referenced by the name
of this file, so if I load a file with some options, and the cache
already contain object for this filename, I obtain an object
potentially not loaded with my options.
Behaviours:
Cache management is delegate to osgDB::Registry, but cache
coherence (load a file with option then reuse it, deactivate the
cache when load a specific file or don't cached the loaded file)
is user's responsibility.
Text3D solution:
Postfix the font file name by .text3d or something similar and then have the freetype plugin return
osgText::Font3D when it detects this.
This operation is done by osgText::readFont3DFile() which unsure the filename have .text3d as extension.
This is totaly transparent for user, and backward compatible.
BTW, I fix the bug about the Normal of 3D text. Currently, the front and wall face have
the same normal (0,0,1) in the Text3D object coordinate. Now the wall face have its own
normal array computed by the plugin.
BTW 2, I implement
- void Text3D::accept(osg::Drawable::ConstAttributeFunctor& af) const
- void Text3D::accept(osg::PrimitiveFunctor& pf) const
so now statistics are well reported.

set.
The optimization is based on the observation that matrix matrix multiplication
with a dense matrix 4x4 is 4^3 Operations whereas multiplication with a
transform, or scale matrix is only 4^2 operations. Which is a gain of a
*FACTOR*4* for these special cases.
The change implements these special cases, provides a unit test for these
implementation and converts uses of the expensiver dense matrix matrix
routine with the specialized versions.
Depending on the transform nodes in the scenegraph this change gives a
noticable improovement.
For example the osgforest code using the MatrixTransform is about 20% slower
than the same codepath using the PositionAttitudeTransform instead of the
MatrixTransform with this patch applied.
If I remember right, the sse type optimizations did *not* provide a factor 4
improovement. Also these changes are totally independent of any cpu or
instruction set architecture. So I would prefer to have this current kind of
change instead of some hand coded and cpu dependent assembly stuff. If we
need that hand tuned stuff, these can go on top of this changes which must
provide than hand optimized additional variants for the specialized versions
to give a even better result in the end.
An other change included here is a change to rotation matrix from quaterion
code. There is a sqrt call which couold be optimized away. Since we divide in
effect by sqrt(length)*sqrt(length) which is just length ...

attached code adds this, along with a member variable to keep track of
the setting. It is based on the latest subversion version, and was
tested by creating a new text object with the same axis alignment as an
existing one (e.g.
new_text->setAxisAlignment(old_text->getAxisAlignment()); )."
From Robert Osfield, " I originally didn't add a getAxisAlignment()
as all setAxisAlignment does is set the Rotation member variable, and
potentially one could apply user defined Rotation setting after the
setAxisAlignment() which would bring it out of sync with the
setAxisAlignment.
Rather than reject your submission on the ground of potentially
getting out of sync and therefore misleading users I've added a
USED_DEFINED_ROTATION to AxisAlignment enum, and set this in the
serRotation and then override this setting of _axisAlignment in the
setAxisAlingment method. I've also removed the lazy updating
optimization you've added to the top of setAxisAlignment to avoid
potential problems as well."
