// .NAME vtkTextActor3D - An actor that displays text.
// .SECTION Description
// The input text is rendered into a buffer, which in turn is used as a
// texture applied onto a quad (a vtkImageActor is used under the hood).
// .SECTION Warning
// This class is experimental at the moment.
// - The orientation is not optimized, the quad should be oriented, not
//   the text itself when it is rendered in the buffer (we end up with
//   excessively big textures for 45 degrees angles).
//   This will be fixed first.
// - No checking is done at the moment regarding hardware texture size limits.
// - Alignment is not supported (soon).
// - Multiline is not supported.
// - Need to fix angle out of 0<->360
//
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkProp3D
