Static p5_sys::global::textAlign

pub static textAlign: TextAlignInternalType

Sets the current alignment for drawing text. Accepts two arguments: horizAlign (LEFT, CENTER, or RIGHT) and vertAlign (TOP, BOTTOM, CENTER, or BASELINE).

The horizAlign parameter is in reference to the x value of the text() function, while the vertAlign parameter is in reference to the y value.

So if you write textAlign(LEFT), you are aligning the left edge of your text to the x value you give in text(). If you write textAlign(RIGHT, TOP), you are aligning the right edge of your text to the x value and the top of edge of the text to the y value.

Examples

textSize(16);
textAlign(RIGHT);
text('ABCD', 50, 30);
textAlign(CENTER);
text('EFGH', 50, 50);
textAlign(LEFT);
text('IJKL', 50, 70);

textSize(16);
strokeWeight(0.5);

line(0, 12, width, 12);
textAlign(CENTER, TOP);
text('TOP', 0, 12, width);

line(0, 37, width, 37);
textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
text('CENTER', 0, 37, width);

line(0, 62, width, 62);
textAlign(CENTER, BASELINE);
text('BASELINE', 0, 62, width);

line(0, 87, width, 87);
textAlign(CENTER, BOTTOM);
