DoText(3D)

NAME
DoText - Create a text primitive object

SYNOPSIS
C:
DtObject DoText(position, u, v, string)
DtPoint3 position;
DtVector3 u, v;
DtPtr string;

FORTRAN:
INTEGER*4 DOTXT(POSITN, U, V, STRING, N)
REAL*8 POSITN(3)
REAL*8 U(3), V(3)
INTEGER*4 N
CHARACTER*N STRING

DESCRIPTION
DoText creates a text primitive object that defines a string of text to be rendered at a specified position and in a specified text plane.

The parameter position specifies a point in space where the text will be based. The parameters u and v are two three-dimensional vectors used to determine the plane in which the text will sit. The u and v vectors need not be unit vectors, but they must be perpendicular to each other for well-defined results. The parameter string is the actual text.

FORTRAN SPECIFIC
The parameter STRING is string of N characters.
