Computer Science Canada :: View topic - How to make the text is right-justified?

var font : int := Font.New("serif:12") %%a basic font to use

%%we need some strings to output right...
var string1 : string := "This will be Left Side"
var string2 : string := "This will be the Center Side!!"
var string3 : string := "This is Right Side"

%%The approach, Draw.Font displays a string with a type of font/size and color
%%And it has the ability to draw it where you want it to...
%%we can also see how long the font is, and use that info to place it correctly

var fontWidth : int := Font.Width(string1,font)
%%this sizes up the font size with the length of the string for a total width

%%lets now place string 1 on the "LEFT SIDE"
Font.Draw(string1,0,300,font,red)
%%Font.Draw(string,x,y,fontID,color)

%%Note how we didnt have to get the font width of the left axis becuase
%we already know that it starts at the 1 border and draws right...

%%but we need to use this info for the other 2!!! Lets try that now
%% % Reset Font width for right string!!!
%% %Font draw (stringX, xpos, ypos, fontID, colr)
%%The math to note %%maxx div 2 = center screen then want to minus 1/2 width.

%% % Reset Font width for right string!!!!
%% %Font draw (stringX, xpos, ypox, fontID, colr)
%%again math to note, We want to draw right side so we
%%maxx - length of the string with font (width).

%%maxx is the max number of pix in your screen horizontally. maxy is vert

Then you need to remember which row your writing to, and increment it as you write a line. Line 1: Dad Line 2: Jeff Line 3: Donald locate(row, column)

i had a similar assignment where we had to make right, left, center and justify. Note that i did it in C++, so it might or might not be same approach. so input the max number of character per line and put it in a temporary string. then take the length of the line and using a forloop, u would just print extra white space at the beginning. Now you might ask, how would i know how many spaces i need at the front. That is the number of max characters - length of the string on that line.
