Text Gizmos

TODO: Add a screenshot showing text gizmos rendered in a 3D scene.

Sometimes you just want to slap a label on something while debugging. Text gizmos are for exactly that: a zero-setup way to draw world-space text anywhere in your scene using a built-in stroke font.

Unlike Bevy's Text2D — the right choice for damage numbers, nameplates, and in-game labels — text gizmos are strictly for dev tools. The font is fixed and only supports ASCII; the value is entirely in "text now plz".

Use Gizmos::text and text_2d to quickly draw text:

fn draw_text(mut gizmos: Gizmos) {
    gizmos.text_2d(
        Isometry2d::IDENTITY, // Position and rotation of the text in world-space
        "Hello Bevy",         // Only supports ASCII text
        40.0,                 // Font size in screen-space pixels
        Vec2::ZERO,           // Anchor point, zero is centered
        Color::WHITE,         // Color of the text
    );
}

If you want to color each section of characters separately, reach for text_sections and text_sections_2d.
