OpenLL : an API for Dynamic 2D and 3D Labeling

OpenLL

Today's rendering APIs lack robust functionality and capabilities for dynamic, real-time text rendering and labeling, which represent key requirements for 3D application design in many fields. As a consequence, most rendering systems are barely or not at all equipped with respective capabilities. This paper drafts the unified text rendering and labeling API OpenLL intended to complement common rendering APIs, frameworks, and transmission formats. For it, various uses of static and dynamic placement of labels are showcased and a text interaction technique is presented. Furthermore, API design constraints with respect to state-of-the-art text rendering techniques are discussed. This contribution is intended to initiate a community-driven specification of a free and open label library.
