How change the bevel size of 3d text in x3dom?

When creating 3D scenes and models with x3dom, adjusting the extrusion depth of 3D text is a common task. In x3dom, 3D text is typically defined using the <text> element within the <shape> element. The extrusion depth can be adjusted to achieve different visual effects.

The following are specific steps to adjust the extrusion depth of 3D text in x3dom:

Step 1: Define 3D Text

First, define your 3D text. This can be done using the <text> element, where you specify the text content and other basic attributes, such as font size.

html
<text string=""Hello, 3D World!"" solid="true" size="0.4">
    <fontstyle family=""SANS"" style="ITALIC" justify=""MIDDLE""/>
</text>

Step 2: Set the Extrusion Depth

The extrusion depth determines the thickness of the text, which is typically set using the <extrusion> element. Add an <extrusion> child element within the <text> element and set its depth attribute. A larger depth value results in a thicker text.

html
<text string=""Hello, 3D World!"" solid="true" size="0.4">
    <fontstyle family=""SANS"" style="ITALIC" justify=""MIDDLE""/>
    <extrusion depth="0.2"/>
</text>

Step 3: Adjust the Extrusion Depth

You can experiment with different extrusion depths by modifying the depth attribute of the <extrusion> element. Increasing the depth value makes the text thicker, while decreasing it makes the text appear thinner.

Example

For example, if you want to create a thicker 3D text effect, set the depth to a higher value, such as 0.5.

html
<text string=""Hello, 3D World!"" solid="true" size="0.4">
    <fontstyle family=""SANS"" style="ITALIC" justify=""MIDDLE""/>
    <extrusion depth="0.5"/>
</text>

This code generates a 3D text with an extrusion depth of 0.5 units.

In summary, by adjusting the depth attribute of the <extrusion> element, you can easily control the extrusion depth of 3D text in x3dom to achieve the desired visual effect.
