Hi,
Is there a way I can align text to be in the middle of a circle automatically. the text will contain number and the number can be 1 figure, 2 figures or 3 figures.
[lua]
local circle1 = display.newCircle( 100, 100, 60 )
local circle2 = display.newCircle( 300, 100, 60 )
circle1.alpha = 0.5
circle2.alpha = 0.5
local num1 = display.newText( “1”, 130, 130, native.systemFont, 40 )
local num1 = display.newText( “12”, 330, 130, native.systemFont, 40 )
[/lua]
There was a corona tutorial/blog post about multiline text - as part of that tut - it had an options table which had a variable for alignment - left, centre , etc…
That might give you the answer or lead you require.

Like this, or did I not understand your question?:
local circ = display.newCircle( 50, 50, 25 ) local txt = display.newText( "A", circ.x, circ.y, system.nativeFont, 20 ) txt:setFillColor( 1,0,0 ) local circ = display.newCircle( 150, 150, 25 ) local txt = display.newText( "B", circ.x, circ.y, system.nativeFont, 20 ) txt:setFillColor( 0,1,0 ) local circ = display.newCircle( 50, 250, 25 ) local txt = display.newText( "C", circ.x, circ.y, system.nativeFont, 20 ) txt:setFillColor( 0,0,1 ) local circ = display.newCircle( 150, 350, 25 ) local txt = display.newText( "D", circ.x, circ.y, system.nativeFont, 20 ) txt:setFillColor( 0,0,0 )
Excellent, thanks for your the time to do the example and show it here., I appreciate it…
Just one more question… I noticed you were using one variable name for the circle and the text… is it fine to do this way or is it better to give different name.
