Title: Label text optimization
Post by: justinISO on October 16, 2013, 09:01:33 AM: I am running into the "too many vertices on one panel" issue, and it is because our client has this long scrolling Terms of Service page he wants in the app that has a large amount of text on it. Is there a way to flatten or optimize this long label so it can work? Or a different method of doing large amounts of text anyone has used?

Thanks,
Justin

Hi, I have similar problem. We are using the latest version, and I have tried "cull" enabled. It seems that culling is working by widgets. So when I have lots of widgets, some are not visible then it will be culled. But in this case, we only have one UILabel, which is very long with lots of content, part of this label is visible, while lots of other part are not, then it won't be culled. Proof is the vertice number is always 60k, it won't change no matter which part I drag. And UIWidget.UpdateGeometry and UIWidget.WriteToBuffers will cost lots of time which will cause dramatic fps drop.

Can I have solution to this problem or have I missed some important setting or not use it properly?

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I'm thinking of this as well. Does paragraphs refer to something special here? My plan is to write some code to parse the text and split them into several labels, no automatically way right?
