Center Font

[gamecreator]

We have it for Windows, why not Fonts?

 

context->DrawText(text, x, y, Leadwerks::Font::CenterHorizontal | Leadwerks::Font::CenterVertical);

 

Or maybe it would work with Contexts somehow.

 

Absolutely the lowest priority but just a nice ease-of-life feature.

Fonts in general would be nice if they could be relative to screen res somehow?

er... i thought we had this already? does it not work?http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/blog/1/entry-1712-improved-2d-drawing-command-set/

 

Edit-- It appears to be working at least in the beta

window = Window:Create("example",0,0,600,400)

context = Context:Create(window)

world = World:Create()

light = DirectionalLight:Create()

light:SetRotation(45,45,0)

camera = Camera:Create()

camera:SetPosition(0,0,-3)

 

box = Model:Box()

box:SetColor(1,0.5,1,1)

 

while not window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) do

if window:Closed() then return false end

box:Turn(0.5*Time:GetSpeed(),0.5*Time:GetSpeed(),0)

 

Time:Update()

world:Update()

world:Render()

 

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

context:SetColor(1,0,0,.5)

context:DrawRect(2,2,300,100)

context:SetColor(1,0.5,0,.5)

context:DrawRect(302,2,300,100)

context:SetColor(1,1,1,1)

context:DrawText(camera:GetPosition():ToString(),2,2,300,100,Text.Center)

context:DrawText(camera:GetPosition():ToString(),302,2,300,100,Text.VCenter+Text.Center)

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

context:Sync(true)

end

Ah, thank you. Just tried it in standard C and it's not there yet that I could see (nor is it in the documentation yet, probably for that reason). But great to be reminded that it'll be part of the GUI functionality!

That seems odd? For it to be available in lua typically means its in c++ version and ported to lua.

I misspoke. By standard I meant stable. Non-beta.

This has been silently added as part of the new GUI system that is still in development.
