the IRIS Performer class pfBillboard is derived from the parent class
pfGeode & the class pfGeode is itself derived from the parent class pfNode.
The function:
int pfGroup::addChild(pfNode *child);
is a member of the class pfGroup only so only pfGroup objects or classes
derived from it will have that function.
Take a look at /usr/share/Performer/src/pguide/libpf/C++/text.C
or /usr/share/Performer/src/pguide/libpf/C/text.c,
it's a pretty good example on how to make some text move with the scene (the
text is in the scene) & how to make some text appear over the scene without
moving even if your camera position moves.
I think that's what you want to do.
I hope it helps. (if for some reason you don't have those files send me an
e-mail and I'll send them to you).
Good luck.
