Increase font size

[Luke Harris]

Is there any way to make the font a little larger? We're noticing it hinders legibility, particularly after playblasting, edit conform, re-compression etc. In more recent maya versions I notice you can change the viewport 2.0 font size in preferences, but spReticle is not supported by Viewport 2.0 so it is of no use

thanks

Luke,

The latest update I made to the spReticle and that Armin uploaded added support for VP2.0 as well as having scalable font sizing, per text element, in either VP1.0 or VP2.0.

I've included two images of the same spReticle setup in VP1.0 and VP2.0 (selecting the images allows you to open them full size).  If you notice, the frame number text element is drawing at a size of 24, which is modifiable.  In fact, you can animate it, if you really want to.

One comment about VP2.0, is that the Autodesk dev team has been working on changes to the API and may deprecate the class that I used, in which case it will need to be updated again.  There is also a macro in DEFINES.h that determines how things are drawn in VP2.0 (USE_MUIDRAWMANAGER), which has pros and cons.

Hey Henry

I don't know how I missed the update from 1.3 to 2.0, that's perfect! Will try build this tomorrow at work.

spReticle is very useful to us and I appreciate your hard work with it!

cheers

Luke
