The way I'd approach it is to "see" what the StringWidth of the text is before and excluding the decimal point. 123.456 78.90 1 12.34 2 So in the above, it would be the width of 123, 78, 1, 12 & 2. And use that width as an offset for the starting point of x in Graphics.DrawObject s,x,y Something like: -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
