Detailed Description

create polygonal text

vtkVectorText generates vtkPolyData from an input text string. Besides the ASCII alphanumeric characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, vtkVectorText also supports ASCII punctuation marks. (The supported ASCII character set are the codes (33-126) inclusive.) The only control character supported is the line feed character "\n", which advances to a new line.

To use thie class, you normally couple it with a vtkPolyDataMapper and a vtkActor. In this case you would use the vtkActor's transformation methods to position, orient, and scale the text. You may also wish to use a vtkFollower to orient the text so that it always faces the camera.
