Sorry for all these threads

But anyways, I'm trying to center text on the X axis *only*. On one of my canvas' I tried getting the width of the font then dividing by 2. It looked pretty centered. So for another canvas, I used the same 'algorithm', however, it was no where near centered. It was completely visibly off.

How would I center something on the X axis only so I could change the Y axis as I please?

'Algorithm' being used:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	TitleFont = love.graphics.newFont("/fonts/FaceYourFears.ttf", 45)
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.print("Example Text", (TitleFont:getWidth("Example Text")/2), 10)
end

There is love.graphics.printf for that.

You should try to read the wiki.
love.graphics.printf

my example to center text on screen:

Code: Select all

local font = love.graphics.newFont("font.ttf", 20)
local screenWidth, screenHeight = love.window.getDimensions()

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.printf("Hello World!", 0, screenHeight / 2 - font:getHeight() / 2, screenWidth, "center")
end

try

Code: Select all

love.graphics.print("Example Text", (love.graphics.getWidth( )/2-TitleFont:getWidth("Example Text")/2), 10)
