Vertically centered text when using fixedHeight.

[theWaver]

Phaser 3.55.2

 

I have a Phaser.GameObject.Text object.

When I initialize it, I pass a `fixedHeight` value in the config.

I would like the text to be vertically centered within this height.

I am aware that I can use origin to center the text given a specific point, but this is not about centering the text inside its container, but rather center it "within itself".

 

If you're wondering why I'm doing it this way: to leverage the Text object's `backgroundColor` prop, and avoid creating an additional object just to paint the Text's background.

Not sure if there is a way of specifying vertical alignment, but I have managed to workaround it by using:

text.setPadding(left, top, right bottom)
