Adding text to 3d viewer

MrScientistman2
Dear list,

I'm plotting a bunch of 3d spheres representing cells in the 3d viewer, using something like the following code below in a for loop:

call("ij3d.ImageJ3DViewer.addSphere", "test", "10,20,30", "10.0000");

This is fine, but I would like to add a few reference marks in the 3d plot. What I'm thinking of is to have text that is in fixed locations, always facing the camera, showing things like "rostral", "caudal", "ventral", "dorsal" etc. Also it would be nice to extend the lengths of the reference axis, and showing marks at regular length intervals. Does anyone have some nice ways or workarounds to manage this or something close to it? Would be nice not having to jump to Matlab.
