i don't particularly like this part of the api, but this is it for now:
Code:BFont font = loadFont("blah.vlw.gz");
setFont(font, 12);
String thetext = "center me";
//font.charWidth('1') also works
int wide = font.stringWidth(thetext);
text(thetext, width/2 - wide/2, height/2); |
|
i'd like to add a textMode(CENTERED) or something like that. it shouldn't require this much thought.
