TextGeometry

A class for generating text as a single geometry. It is constructed by providing a string of text, and a set of parameters consisting of a loaded font and extrude settings.

See the FontLoader page for additional details.

TextGeometry uses typeface.json generated fonts. Some existing fonts can be found located in /examples/fonts.

Code Example

const loader = new FontLoader();
const font = await loader.loadAsync( 'fonts/helvetiker_regular.typeface.json' );
const geometry = new TextGeometry( 'Hello three.js!', {
	font: font,
	size: 80,
	depth: 5,
	curveSegments: 12
} );

Import

TextGeometry is an addon, and must be imported explicitly, see Installation#Addons.

import { TextGeometry } from 'three/addons/geometries/TextGeometry.js';

Constructor

new TextGeometry( text : string, parameters : TextGeometry~Options )

Constructs a new text geometry.

text

The text that should be transformed into a geometry.
parameters

The text settings.

Type Definitions

.Options

Represents the options type of the geometry's constructor.

font
Font

The font.
size
number

The text size.

Default is 100.
depth
number

Depth to extrude the shape.

Default is 50.
curveSegments
number

Number of points on the curves.

Default is 12.
steps
number

Number of points used for subdividing segments along the depth of the extruded spline.

Default is 1.
bevelEnabled
boolean

Whether to beveling to the shape or not.

Default is false.
bevelThickness
number

How deep into the original shape the bevel goes.

Default is 10.
bevelSize
number

Distance from the shape outline that the bevel extends.

Default is 8.
bevelOffset
number

Distance from the shape outline that the bevel starts.

Default is 0.
bevelSegments
number

Number of bevel layers.

Default is 3.
direction
string

Char direction: ltr(left to right), rtl(right to left) & tb(top bottom).

Default is 'ltr'.
extrudePath
Curve

A 3D spline path along which the shape should be extruded. Bevels not supported for path extrusion.

Default is null.
UVGenerator
Object

An object that provides UV generator functions for custom UV generation.
