Question on Graphic Set Position.

[Mel Bishop]

Or maybe it's just a case of brain-lock.

In a pure graphics environment, I need to place text on the graphic screen not unlike LOCATE row, col.

As I understand it, Graphic Set Pos "locates" in pixels.

The question is: How can I use font size to calculate where to locate text so as not to squeeze the text too tightly or space too far apart?

TIA

BTW: I did look for this but maybe I used the wrong search terms.

Mel,

I think you need to use GRAPHIC TEXT SIZE. "This allows you to easily calculate the appropriate print position, particularly when using a proportional font."

It suddenly dawned on 'ol lead-head here that I was using:

col * FontWidth

instead of

col + fontWidth

Duhhhhh.....
