The PosText
command places the cursor on the current text object
or the HUD, and choses a justification mode for subsequent
Printing.
When printing to an object, positions are best given in percent of the width
(X) and height (Y) of the current text object
. The coordinate system originates from the bottom left corner 0%/0% with the X-axis pointing right to
100%/0% and the Y-axis pointing up to 0%/100%. The given Y-position coincides with the baseline of the printed characters.
When printing to the HUD
, positions must be given in column/row format. There are 40x38 characters available,
position 1/1 is in the top left corner.
Example 1:
PosText 50%,50%,center
Position the cursor in the middle of the text object and print a centered text.
Example 2:
PosText 0%,100%,justify=left
Position the cursor in the top left corner of the text object and print a left-justified text.
