This is my version of a type writer.
This VRML World is completely useless: It allows you to enter text.
But it shows how computer software could be. I mean, a text area
need not necessaryily be rectangular. And when you type text and edit it, the letters
need not just pop up. They can fade in smoothly and smoothly move to their new position.
This world allows you to enter text in VRML. It is fully functional: You can
append text at the end, move the cursor, insert text in the middle of the line,
delete whole words, etc. Since it needs a KeySensor
node that gives you the string representation of typed text, it requires
 BS Contact VRML/X3D.
The following keys work:
|
|
To move the cursor one character to the left/right.
|
|
|
To delete the character left of the cursor position.
|
|
|
To delete the character right of the cursor position.
|
|
|
To move the cursor one word to the left/right.
|
|
|
To move the cursor to the beginning/end of the line.
|
|
|
To delete a whole word.
(It's fun to see the letters of a long word spread away.)
