Request for Text Rendering features in Graphics class

[alexisDVJML]

Not sure the right place where to ask for these features, maybe by putting here can see how many of us would be interested 🙂

3D features:

- Rendering Text, similar to what is feasible in nwCreate: text at specific position, size and "plane"
- Filling polygon as long as all points are in one planes

2D features:
- Rendering Text with specific angle/orientation

- Filling Polygon

It should be possible to create 3D text by using polyline.Points with a block outline font and then stretching it in depth by adding triangles

Code for producing polylines from a font is in this old blog post:

How did you get a reference to your class that inherits RenderPlugin / ToolPlugin?

Very interesting.
Hope I can try this soon.
Maybe will be more efficient than drawing rectangles and triangles for things like my arrows
