ladybug_display.geometry3d.text module

Class for specifying text within the 3D scene.

class ladybug_display.geometry3d.text.DisplayText3D(text, plane, height, color=None, font='Arial', horizontal_alignment='Left', vertical_alignment='Bottom')[source]

Bases: _SingleColorBase3D

A text object in 3D space with display properties.

Parameters

  • text – A text string to be displayed in the 3D scene.

  • plane – A ladybug-geometry Plane object to locate and orient the text in the 3D scene.

  • height – A number for the height of the text in the 3D scene.

  • color – A ladybug Color object. If None, a default black color will be used. (Default: None).

  • font – A text string for the font in which to draw the text. Note that this field may not be interpreted the same on all machines and in all interfaces, particularly when a machine lacks a given font. (Default: Arial)

  • horizontal_alignment –

    String to specify the horizontal alignment of the text. (Default: Left). Choose from:

    • Left

    • Center

    • Right

  • vertical_alignment –

    String to specify the vertical alignment of the text. (Default: Bottom). Choose from:

    • Top

    • Middle

    • Bottom

ToString()
duplicate()

Get a copy of this object.

classmethod from_dict(data)[source]

Initialize a DisplayText3D from a dictionary.

Parameters

data – A dictionary representation of an DisplayText3D object.

move(moving_vec)

Move this geometry along a vector.

Parameters

moving_vec – A ladybug_geometry Vector with the direction and distance to move the geometry.

reflect(plane)

Reflect this geometry across a plane.

Parameters

plane – A ladybug_geometry Plane across which the object will be reflected.

rotate(axis, angle, origin)

Rotate this geometry by a certain angle around an axis and origin.

Parameters

  • axis – A ladybug_geometry Vector3D axis representing the axis of rotation.

  • angle – An angle for rotation in degrees.

  • origin – A ladybug_geometry Point3D for the origin around which the object will be rotated.

rotate_xy(angle, origin)

Rotate this geometry counterclockwise in the world XY plane by an angle.

Parameters

  • angle – An angle in degrees.

  • origin – A ladybug_geometry Point3D for the origin around which the object will be rotated.

scale(factor, origin=None)

Scale this geometry by a factor from an origin point.

Parameters

  • factor – A number representing how much the object should be scaled.

  • origin – A ladybug_geometry Point representing the origin from which to scale. If None, it will be scaled from the World origin.

to_dict()[source]

Return DisplayText3D as a dictionary.

HORIZONTAL_ALIGN = ('Left', 'Center', 'Right')
VERTICAL_ALIGN = ('Top', 'Middle', 'Bottom')
property color

Get or set a color for this object.

property font

Get or set a string for the font in which to draw the text.

property geometry

Get a ladybug_geometry object.

property height

Get or set a number for the height of the text in the 3D scene.

property horizontal_alignment

Get or set text to specify the horizontal alignment.

property max

Get a Point3D for the maximum of the bounding box around the object.

property min

Get a Point3D for the minimum of the bounding box around the object.

property plane

Get a ladybug_geometry Plane for the text.

property text

Get or set a text string to be displayed in the 3D scene.

property user_data

Get or set an optional dictionary for additional meta data for this object.

This will be None until it has been set. All keys and values of this dictionary should be of a standard Python type to ensure correct serialization of the object to/from JSON (eg. str, float, int, list, dict)

property vertical_alignment

Get or set text to specify the vertical alignment.
