writeTextToCanvas options

CesiumJS
1

Hello , using this

image : Cesium.writeTextToCanvas(‘Test’, { font: ‘24px san-serif’,

fillColor : Cesium.Color.DIMGREY,

outlineColor : Cesium.Color.RED,

outlineWidth : 2,

style : Cesium.LabelStyle.FILL_AND_OUTLINE

}

),

``

but only the font and fillColor options are working. Am i doing something wrong or are only certain text options supported within writeTextToCanvas?

Thanks

Hello,

writeTextToCanvas doesn’t take outlineColor, outlineWidth, or style parameters.

Is there any reason you want to use that function instead of using a label? Here is an example for adding a label to the globe: http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=Labels.html&label=Showcases

Thanks, but I want to orient the text along a path (like google maps orients a street name along the street) and I can’t do that with the label function. writeTextToCanvas seems to work ok but for orienting to a specific heading but it’s hard to read text without an outline for my project.

writeTextToCanvas doesn’t have outlineColor and outlineWidth properties. I think you can use strokeColor and strokeWidth instead.

See the doc above the function: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/blob/master/Source/Core/writeTextToCanvas.js#L22-L33

However, a better solution would be for use to have axis align support to rotate labels

I wrote up this issue for us to look into adding it: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/4215
