Hi, I am working on a map renderer using OpenGL and Qt. The plan is to render text labels in the map with signed distance fields, so I have been looking at QSGDistanceFieldGlyphNode for this purpose.
However, the current QSG text rendering engine only seems to support rendering text along straight lines, i.e. a QGlyphRun which optionally may be rotated afterwards. In my application I need to render each glyph along an arbitrary path (for example a road). I guess that I have to implement my own version of QSGDistanceFieldGlyphNode which takes a new structure as input which is similar to QGlyphRun, but has a rotation for each glyph in addition to the position. Am I correct in assuming that arbitrary text paths is generally unsupported, or is there some existing Qt functionality for this that I have missed? Does my approach through QSDistanceFieldGlyphNode sound like a feasible way to go? Cheers, Thomas
