hi,
i have a body of text using the display.newText function
can i align this with ‘center’ or ‘right’ etc yet?
if not, this needs to be a feature!
thanks

Alignment works, though only with single lines of text. Paragraphs I think are still always align left. There used to be a library in the user code DB for this but looking at it I don’t think it’s practical.
Anyway, pretty sure there have been threads on this and it’s somewhere on the Corona radar.

I wrote a library, which manually creates multiline text… Manually as in it splits the string depending on a width and creates each line as a separate text object… It was pretty useful for me… You can align the lines too…
If someone really needs this, I can clean up the library and post it up this weekend! [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 34699 reply_id: 137945[/import]
yes please!! [import]uid: 24641 topic_id: 34699 reply_id: 137949[/import]
Ok I tried to clean up the library but got pissed off…
So just posting the code…
Here it is
Use at your own risk 
It should work pretty well, but if you do run into any trouble, just comment below that code… [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 34699 reply_id: 137976[/import]
