Three.js canvas text

gistfile1.js

// Usage:
// var txt = alignPlane(createText2D('String', 'red', 'Verdana', 64), THREE.RightAlign, THREE.BottomAlign);
// scene.addChild(txt);

function createTextCanvas(text, color, font, size) {
  size = size || 24;
  var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
  var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
  var fontStr = (font || 'Arial') + ' ' + (size +'px');
  ctx.font = fontStr; 
  var w = ctx.measureText(text).width;
  var h = Math.ceil(size*1.25);
  canvas.width = w;
  canvas.height = h;
  ctx.font = fontStr;
  ctx.fillStyle = color || 'black';
  ctx.fillText(text, 0, size);
  return canvas;
}

function createText2D(text, color, font, size, segW, segH) {
  var canvas = createTextCanvas(text, color, font, size);
  var plane = new THREE.PlaneGeometry(canvas.width, canvas.height, segW, segH);
  var tex = new THREE.Texture(canvas);
  tex.needsUpdate = true;
  var planeMat = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({
    map: tex, color: 0xffffff, transparent: true
  });
  var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(plane, planeMat);
  mesh.doubleSided = true;
  return mesh;
}

THREE.LeftAlign = 1;
THREE.CenterAlign = 0;
THREE.RightAlign = -1;
THREE.TopAlign = -1;
THREE.BottomAlign = 1;

function alignPlane(plane, horizontalAlign, verticalAlign) {
  var obj = new THREE.Object3D();
  var u = plane.geometry.vertices[0].position;
  var v = plane.geometry.vertices[plane.geometry.vertices.length-1].position;
  var width = Math.abs(u.x - v.x);
  var height = Math.abs(u.y - v.y);
  plane.position.x = width/2 * horizontalAlign;
  plane.position.y = height/2 * verticalAlign;
  obj.addChild(plane);
  return obj;
}

Not really working, I get TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'u.x')

Three.js API changed, I think you need to do var u = plane.geometry.vertices[0]; etc.
