Title: Cannot center text on screen in sfml 2.5.0
Post by: Dschoonmaker on June 16, 2018, 12:01:40 am

How do I center text on the middle of the screen in sfml 2.5.0?

I have tried things like:

        text.setOrigin(text.getLocalBounds().width / 2.0f, text.getLocalBounds().height / 2.0f);
        text.setPosition(screenWidth / 2, screenHeight / 2);
 

But it is just slightly off.

The bounding rect not only has a width and height, it also has a left and top.

Laurent is right.. In other words:

Quote

text.setOrigin(text.getLocalBounds().left + text.getLocalBounds().width / 2.0f, text.getLocalBounds().top + text.getLocalBounds().height / 2.0f);

Should also be rounded.
