Width of text: RESOLVED

@dmilligan

David I hope you can put me out of my misery.

I'm needing to right justify some text and need to the width of a string.

I've tried using font:width(text) but I'm obviously using it wrong.

Could you help me please, ie how do I get the pixel width of a piece of text.

Sorry to be a pain.

Cheers

Garry

FONT.LARGE:width("test")

See also editor.lua

Here is the code I used, message is a string.

Code Select Expand

  local qq = FONT.MEDIUM:width(message)
