GLGraphics and texts Jun 5th, 2009, 7:04am   Hej, I'trying to visualize some text in a 3d space.   My draw() function looks like this: for (int i = 0; i < objects.size(); i++) {         TextMaker TextObject = (TextMaker) objects.get(i);         fill(255);         text(TextObject.getWord(),TextObject.getX(),TextObject.getY(),                       TextObject.getZ()); } But drawing nearly 30000 Objects (Words) in Processing using OPENGL slows down the Animation horribly. Anyway GLGraphics looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Is their any way to use texts and fonts? Thanks, Fejngold
