text() about hydra HOT 6 CLOSED

yeaa this could be fun! i think the easiest would be to implement it as a canvas source. this would be interesting to apply to images, videos, etc as well but I think requires a different kind of function/source than is currently implemented

from hydra.

right :) I was about to close this issue because maybe that's possible using p5 i.e

p = new P5()
...
s1.init({src: p.canvas})

however it would be handy to have some function to add a simple video/image/text

from hydra.

I'm quite new to this whole topic, but I would like to use some text. Can you maybe give further details on how exactly it would work with p5?

Can this technique be a valid path to follow for text rendering?

I am going to close this because it is outside the scope of hydra. For documentation of p5 in hydra, see: https://github.com/ojack/hydra-examples/blob/master/6-p5.js

And see the p5 documentation for how to use text.

Hi! Thanks so much for hydra!
Would you be willing to reconsider adding this, @ojack? The p5js workaround is ok, but I still feel there's extra value in a super simple text source.
