Hi All, 4D v15.2 Mac/Win
I’m sure I’ve seen this recently but can’t find it (something about double processing width/height). I recall reading but not quite understanding it. What was it’s topic name? Anyway... I am working on a project where I need to place short text strings exactly at a various points within a circle. Easy enough using a little trig. Even though my centering text on a point works, for the most part, I’m not sure it’s exactly precise. I notice when changing the font and font size that it’s off by a pixel or a few. And I can see it and it doesn’t look right to me eyes. So before I check my question: Does anyone have routine that will reliably center an SVG text string on a point? Here’s what I am using. $Dom_Ref:=SVG_New $tDom_Text:=SVG_New_text ($Dom_Ref;$text_t;$ptr_W->;$ptr_H->;$fontName;$fontSize;$fontStyle;$fontAlign) $pic:=SVG_Export_to_picture ($tDom_Text) SVG_CLEAR ($Dom_Ref) PICTURE PROPERTIES($pic;$ptr_W->;$ptr_H->) Is this the best approach? Or is there a more precise algorithm like double processing width/height? Thanks, John... ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
