Insert one .svg image into the scene aligned with the scene axes and not always facing the camera.

Hi, I would to insert one .svg image into the scene aligned with the scene axes and not always facing the camera.

I have tried using coin3d and I found coin.SoImage() method. But with this I obtain the image aligned always facing the camera and I would to obtain the image aligned to the scene axis. I tried using coin.SoTransform() but had no effect.

Any way to insert an image through the file path and be able to move it to the position I want with coin.SoTransform ()?

A little example that I had tried is:

Code: Select all

from pivy import coin
sg = Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getSceneGraph()
svg = coin.SoImage()
svg.filename = 'routeFilename.svg'
imagePos = coin.SoTransform()
imagePos.translation.setValue([10,0,0])
imagePos.rotation = coin.SbRotation(0,0,0,0)
image = coin.SoSeparator()
image.addChild(svg)
image.addChild(imagePos)
sg.addChild(image)

Now I tried adding a texture in a box with profundity 0. But with this I obtain mirror effect. Any suggestion?

box = coin.SoVRMLBox()
box.size = (2,2,0)
imagePos = coin.SoTransform()
imagePos.translation.setValue([10,0,0])
imagePos.rotation = coin.SbRotation(0,0,0,0)
image = coin.SoSeparator()
image.addChild(imagePos)
image.addChild(svg)
image.addChild(box)
sg.addChild(image)

Dear juanvanyo ,
How is your image imported?
Is it a 'pixel'-graphic or is it inserted as 'vector'-graphics?

I tried to import a matplotlib-plot but the imported .svg looks blured and additionally it is mirrored as you also mentioned.
