LaTeX Text Overlay

Render LaTeX text in the viewport

Description

Add LaTeX text labels to your OVITO Pro renders. Rendering is based on matplotlib's text labels.

Parameters

• "Text" | text: Text to be rendered in LaTeX. Default = "\exp^{i \pi} + 1 = 0"
• "Font" | font: Font of the text. The list of available fonts is platform dependent / matplotlib version dependen. The (alphabetically) first font is used as default.
• "Font size" | font_size: Font size of the text. Default = 50.
• "Text color" | text_color: Color of the text. Default = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0). (Only available in the GUI starting from OVITO Pro >= 3.10.3).
• "X position" | px: X position of the text. Default = 0.5. The position is given in relative coordinates, where 0.0 corresponds to the left edge of the viewport and 1.0 to the right edge.
• "Y position" | py: Y position of the text. Default = 0.5. The position is given in relative coordinates, where 0.0 corresponds to the bottom edge of the viewport and 1.0 to the top edge.
