Difficulties adding 2D or 3D text to the scene.

Question

Hello!
I have a 3D cube which I have created, and I've been able to add things to the scene such as spheres and dotted lines. I cannot, however, get any 2D or 3D text to show up. Here is some code I am using. Does this look correct?
        Text2D text2D = new Text2D("X Axis",
                                   new Color3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f),
                                   "Arial", 18, Font.ITALIC);
        sceneBranch.addChild(text2D);
        Font3D font3d = new Font3D(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 10),
                            new FontExtrusion());
        Text3D textGeom = new Text3D(font3d, new String("X Axis"),
                              new Point3f(-2.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
        Shape3D textShape = new Shape3D(textGeom);
        sceneBranch.addChild(textShape);Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

hi,
        Color3f color = new Color3f(Color.WHITE);
        String fontName = Font.SERIF;
        int fontSize = 200;
        int fontStyle = Font.PLAIN;
        fpsText2D = new Text2D(fpsText, color, fontName, fontSize, fontStyle);
        tgFPS.addChild(fpsText2D);
        TransformGroup tgFPS = new TransformGroup();
        sceneGraph.add(tgFPS);this works fine for me
