Text and images in FFGL plugin

[jonas4345]

Hello everybody,

First: I'm new to ffgl plugin development, but I have experience in software development. I work as a software developer for an international company.

I'm trying to develop an ffgl plugin that displays the contents of a json string on the screen.
I need your help for that.

I already created a new plugin that gets the information from a web service. Now I don't know how to display a text on the screen with C++.

I also want a nice background image behind the text that contains some alpha stuff.

Can someone give me a hint how I can solve this, please?

Best regards,
Jonas

I also need this kind of demand, I hope that your post can get the response of the technical master.

Text in OpenGL is notoriously difficult. FreeType is the most commonly used library to take away most of the pain: https://learnopengl.com/In-Practice/Text-Rendering
