A sprite based text component for ThreeJS. The text is drawn to canvas, converted into a Texture and then used as a material on a Sprite. Because a sprite is being used, the text will always face the camera, and has its orientation fixed relative to the camera.
import SpriteText from 'three-spritetext';or using a script tag
<script src="//unpkg.com/three-spritetext"></script>then
const myText = new SpriteText('My text');
const myScene = new THREE.Scene();
myScene.add(myText);SpriteText ([text, textHeight, color])
