Primrose
A syntax-highlighting text editor that renders to an HTML5 Canvas, ideal for texturing 3D objects in WebGL applications.
What is Primrose?
Primrose is a syntax-highlighting text editor that renders its interface entirely to an HTML5 Canvas element. It solves the problem of embedding editable, styled text within WebGL applications and 3D scenes, where standard DOM-based editors cannot be used. It provides features like line numbers, theming, and language support for JavaScript, HTML, and BASIC.
WebGL developers and creators of interactive 3D web applications who need to integrate text editing or display into their scenes, such as for in-world code editors, UI texturing, or immersive interfaces.
Developers choose Primrose for its unique canvas-based rendering that seamlessly integrates with WebGL and Three.js, offering a programmable text editor that can be textured onto 3D objects. It provides a specialized solution where traditional HTML editors fail.
