Is there any way of adding some kind of automatic margin between two or more fillText()?
I have a set of fillText() that is changing every frame, they become longer and shorter, but I would want them to to have a fixed space between the text. I don't know how else I can explain this. I created a fiddle to show what I mean.
Example, if you look at the seconds counter, when there is only 1 character in there, the 'S' character is longer away from the seconds than it should.
How would I fix this? I'm pretty new to canvas. Thanks in advance.
Okay, so I found a solution. I'm now grabbing the width of each text element and using that, plus some more in the second argument of fillText().

^ Updated solution. It's a bit messy atm., will try to clean it up abit later.

I have a QGridLayout with QLabels in it that are displaying some values and the units to that values. For good readability I want the value to be left-aligned within the QLabel and the unit to be right-aligned.
At first I wanted to do this with QtStyleSheets but the only way I found was to change the text-alignment of the whole widget like this:
myLabel.setStyleSheet("QLabel {qproperty-alignment: AlignRight}")
My second thought was to do it via HTML but there I also encountered several problems. Here is what I tried:
myLabel.setText("<div align=\"left\">Value<\div><div align=\"right\">Unit<\div>")
This does the right thing, after that the value is left-aligned and the unit right-aligned, but they are not on the same line anymore. Nevertheless it appears to me the more promising approach. Unluckily I am not very familiar with HTML.
Can anybody help?
Or if you really just want go on with html in QLabel use table instead of div's. But #saeed is right, better use Qt Layouts and spacer between them.
Example with HTML:
myLabel.setText("<table width=\"100%\"><td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\">Value</td><td width=\"50%\" align=\"right\">Unit</td></table>");
I suggest you to use two Qlabels and a Horizontal spacer like image below , this is fast and you can let Qt handle whole design layout.
I recently made a game with game maker and I've tried converting it to html5, but it's got some big errors... here is the game in html format: http://ivatrix.com/Game/index.html
First off, text is meant to appear in the top left like how you can see in this screenshot: http://gyazo.com/baa386fe06cfac9439c83b6e5192efd8 the text only appears after you create a combo.
Secondly, when you click on an orb it's meant to scale down to half it's size then scale up to 1.5x it's size, but instead it's shrinking until it's 1px large then infinitely increasing in size. Draw code is here:
if sl=1
{
if (s=0.6 or s=1) then d=d*(-1)
s+=d
if(frozen=1)
{
draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,global.skin,x,y,s,s,0,c_blue,1)
}
}
And then there's other small errors like some text won't display, particle effects don't seem to draw, the game always returns saying there is no match on the board. That's all I've found so far.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks.
Since no one has provided an answer and I've found one myself, I'll put it up here so others in the same boat can benefit as well. Practically, the source of all my problems with floating point numbers being irregular, for example instead of it being 1 it could be 1.000000003, which meant if you were to check if that variable was equal to one, it would return false. Further information here: http://help.yoyogames.com/entries/77891197-HTML5-Issues-And-Differences
So for an example in my case, I changed the line
if (s=0.6 or s=1) then d=d*(-1)
to
if (s<0.6 or s>1) then d=d*(-1)
And now the problem is fixed.
I am currently creating a word cloud using an in house developed library, it uses the svg element text to display the words, the problem I have encounter is that the area of some words sometimes overlaps other words as you can see if you inspect test1 in this jsfiddle, this becomes a problem if the words must be clickable.
I want to know if it is possible to reduce the area of the text to the minimum, just wrapping the word, a small padding is accepted.
I have already tried the solution posted in this answer but it didn't work.
I would prefer a css solution if it exists rather than messing with svg but if there is no other option that will do.
Edit: Ok, enough reputation to post images. What I currently have:
What I would like to have:
There are two problems; I currently have only a solution to one. Your text example is misleading. Try Text1g instead to see the descent (i.e. the amount of space below the baseline which the g needs). If you do this, then you'll see that the texts really overlap - you just don't notice because your test text doesn't contain a good set of test characters.
Apart from that, I see that the element is 67px high while the font-size is only 60px. I don't see where the additional 7 pixels are coming from. It's not padding and not margin :-/
Why do you need to know the minimum bounding box?
If it is because you are linking with the element, or applying click events to the words, then you should investigate the pointer-events attribute.
You possibly want something like:
<text ... pointer-events="fill">ejecutar</text>
You will only get events when the pointer is over the fill of the words. This might be a bit fiddly for clicking though because the holes in words will not be clickable.
You could ease that by putting an invisible <rect> of an appropriate size in front of the word with pointer-events="fill". The "fill" value will attract events for where the fill would be even if it is invisible. However that requires you know the bbox of the word, which we already established you don't have (?).
You could give the words an invisible fat stroke and use pointer-events="all". The invisible stroke will make the clickable area (invisbly) fatter and hence the inter-word holes smaller.
I'm new on this particular project, and I've been tasked with resolving an issue that's appearing in IE8.
If you check http://funds.ft.com/ETFHomepage.aspx, There's a section called "News". In that section, there's a column called "Most Popular ETFs". This should be the same width as the "Recently Viewed ETFs" column.
For reference, this page is appearing correctly in Firefox. Can somebody please point out what I can do with CSS or (some other means)* to resolve this?
*I know the best way to resolve this issue is to scrap the terrible design and implement it correctly!! :-) -- we're actually doing that right now. It's a big job, so it's taking a long time. In the mean time however, we have to fix the bugs as they appear. Thanks
Update: just to note what I've said to Hristo, "I think the problem is with the table (rather, nested tables) on the left. The table in the center has its width defined by the image, and the table on the right doesn't have an image so it gets crushed"
Well the reason this is happening is because of the url you have under the "Alphaville: Overcoming the Volcker rule, with ETFs" header. Since the url has no whitespace in it, the table tries to give it space. So there are a couple of ways to fix this problem:
Plain text urls aren't very becoming on a webpage (especially when they're not in anchor tags so you can click on them.) Could you update the content so that you don't have a raw url in your content?
If you must be able to handle long lines of text with no whitespace then you need to figure out how to change the layout of the page so it forces the text to either wrap or clip to fit the container. Try playing around with putting "table-layout: fixed" on your tables to force the column widths to be sized based on the table's specifications only (instead of content). Firefox seems to be wrapping on dashes and slashes in the url whereas IE only wants to wrap on the dashes in the url.
I would say your layout is fine, and you just need to fix the content generation so it doesn't include any long plain text urls (option 1 above)
EDIT: If you do decide to go with option 2 above, then look into the css rule "word-break: break-all". It is IE only and it forces the text to break as soon as it reaches the end of the container. Not good for words, but it works for url's. So you couldn't apply this to the whole news table, but you could to just the cell that contains the url.
In actionscript 3, my TextField has :
CSS styling
embedded fonts
textAlign : CENTER
autoSize : CENTER
... when italics are used the very right character gets slightly cut off (specially caps).
It basically seems that it fails detecting the right size.
I've had this problem before but just wondered is there a nice workaround (instead of checking textWidth or offsetting text etc.)?
Initialize your textField as you always do, using multiline, autosize, htmlText...
Then do this little trick :
// saving wanted width and height plus 1px to get some space for last char
var savedWidth = myTextField.width + 1;
var savedHeight = myTextField.height + 1;
// removing autoSize, wich is the origin of the problem i think
myTextField.autoSize = "none";
// now manually autoSizing the textField with saved values
myTextField.width = savedWidth;
myTextField.height = savedHeight;
Not that it is much comfort to you, but Flash sometimes has trouble with this seemingly simple task. CSS styling of html TextField was a nice addition but it has caused headaches for text-rendering. In fact I very rarely use CSS for styling text for that reason. I can only imagine that combining bold, italic and normal type faces within the HTML causes Flash to get some of the width calculations wrong which causes autoSize to set the mask a tiny bit short. I hope very much that the new text rendering engine in Flash Player 10 will finally fix these issues (it certainly looks better in theory).
So my solution is never to use HTML with the exception being when I require <a> links in my text ... and there are even some tricky text shifting issues there. In those cases I avoid mixing different font weights and font styles within the same text field. All other cases I use TextFormat directly on TextField.
I suppose if you can't get out of your current architecture (for some reason) you could try adding to the end of your html encoded strings. Or you could manually set the width of the field and not rely on autoSize (as you have mentioned). But if you keep on the CSS/HTML route you may find another new and painful limitation just when you don't want it.
I've had issues with TextField masks behaving differently in the Flash preview, and in the actual browser plugin. Usually, and this is strange to me, it would appear more correctly in the browser. Have you tried running the swf in a browser to see if the problem is actually an annoyance rather than a permanent problem?
I had said this:
My in-ideal approach to solving this is to attach a change event to the TextField which always adds a space after the last character of the field. And then to remember to trim this space off when using the value.
But that didn't take into account that this probably doesn't have a change event and that it's an HTML rendered text field. To add a trailing space in the HTML text field throw in an again, that's not really fixing the problem.
