k3d.factory.text2d(text, position=(0, 0), color=255, size=1.0, reference_point='lt', label_box=True, is_html=False, name=None, group=None, custom_data=None, compression_level=0)[source]#

Create a Text2d drawable for 2D-positioned (viewport bound, OSD) labels.

Parameters

  • text (str or list of str) – Text content.

  • position (tuple, optional) – (rx, ry) text position ratios in range (0, 1) - relative to canvas size, by default (0, 0). If n text is pass position should contain 2*n elements .

  • color (int, optional) – Hex color of the text, by default _default_color.

  • reference_point (str, optional) –

    Two-letter string representing text alignment, by default “lb”.

    First letters

    • l – left

    • c – center

    • r – right

    Second letters

    • t – top

    • c – center

    • b – bottom

  • size (float, optional) – Font size in ‘em’ HTML units, by default 1.0.

  • label_box (bool, optional) – Label background box, by default True.

  • is_html (bool, optional) – Interprete text as HTMl instead of KaTeX, by default False.

  • name (str, optional) – Object name, by default None.

  • group (str, optional) – Name of a group, by default None.

  • custom_data (dict) – A object with custom data attached to object.

  • compression_level (int, optional) – Level of data compression [-1, 9], by default 0.
