Detailed Description

Label is a subclass of Node that knows how to render text labels.

Label can be created with:

  • A true type font file.
  • A bitmap font file.
  • A char map file.
  • The built in system font.

virtual void setGlobalZOrder ( float  globalZOrder)
overridevirtual

Defines the order in which the nodes are renderer.

Nodes that have a Global Z Order lower, are renderer first.

In case two or more nodes have the same Global Z Order, the order is not guaranteed. The only exception if the Nodes have a Global Z Order == 0. In that case, the Scene Graph order is used.

By default, all nodes have a Global Z Order = 0. That means that by default, the Scene Graph order is used to render the nodes.

Global Z Order is useful when you need to render nodes in an order different than the Scene Graph order.

Limitations: Global Z Order can't be used by Nodes that have SpriteBatchNode as one of their ancestors. And if ClippingNode is one of the ancestors, then "global Z order" will be relative to the ClippingNode.
