Text object and text align

[stauzs]

Hello,

 

While working on the graphical editor for phaser I have stumbled upon the text alignment.

 

Basically, I want to use wordWrapWidth (or other property) as the default width for the text alignment,

at the moment I have 2 possible solutions:

 

1) Quick and dirty would be to modify updateText method like this:
 

var maxLineWidth = 0;

to

 var maxLineWidth = this.style.wordWrap ? this.style.wordWrapWidth : 0;

it would make desired results, but as the text has been drawn on separate canvas - it will make text object texture bigger than required and add an impact on the performance

 

2) Create a wrapper around Text object - or extend Phaser.Text to Phaser.TextBox - and handle offsets internally

 

 

 

Maybe there is somebody who have done something like that before - or I'm just missing something.

 

Any suggestions?

Yes text alignment in pixi only works with multi-lined text. Personally I would go with your first choice - using a fixed width canvas. I doubt you'd be rendering -that- many extra pixels.
