I have been able to display some text in the viewport according to answers provided in this thread:
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/4169/3712_draw-text-to-viewport-like-measureconstHowever, I haven't been able to change the font size. Searching through the forum did provide a single solution:
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/8025/10428_size-of-the-character-of-geclipmap&KW=setfont&PID=40428#40428But I cannot get it to work, as calling SetFont or SetFontSize always fail.
trial 1
Float gFontScale = 3; BaseContainer fontDescription; clipMap->GetDefaultFont(GE_FONT_DEFAULT_SYSTEM, &fontDescription); Float fontSize; clipMap->GetFontSize(&fontDescription, GE_FONT_SIZE_INTERNAL, &fontSize); Bool ret = clipMap->SetFont(&fontDescription, fontSize * gFontScale);
trial 2
BaseContainer fontbc; if (!GeClipMap::GetDefaultFont(GE_FONT_DEFAULT_SYSTEM, &fontbc)) return FALSE; Bool ret = clipMap->SetFontSize(&fontbc, GE_FONT_SIZE_INTERNAL, 50.0);

Hello,
both GetDefaultFont and SetFontSize are static functions. You find some example code on how to use such functions in the GeClipMap Manual.
best wishes,

Thanks Sebastian,
I still couldn't get the SetFontSize to work.
But from the GeClipMap manual example I managed to get the (non-static) SetFont to work.
