[Löwenherz]

Hello all

Made Yesterday this example with Gradient Background freebasic Letter and a Kind of Dog pattern... This Dog pattern doesn't Work correct and I wanted to Center this Dog in my Scene

Help is Welcome

Generally speaking, to center something, you'd use:

Code: Select all

p = ( w - l ) / 2

Where:

Code: Select all

p = the resulting centered coordinate
w = the extent where you want to center (in your example, this would be the screen width, in chars)
l = the length you want to center (in your example, this would be the length of the string, in chars)

Example code:

Code: Select all

function center( w as long, l as long ) as long
  return( ( w - l ) / 2 )
end function

var s = "Hello FreeBasic!"

locate _
  center( 25, 1 ), _ '' 1 because it's only 1 line of text
  center( 80, len( s ) )

? s

sleep()

Thank you Paul for your Code example for Center a string

A) I have managed to Center the Dog Figure shape but B) without your function cause that must be 12 lines to Center and I didnt make to run this function unfortunately

Many thanks fxm your solution is much shorter and more elegant

I have still Problems to understand freebasic String s, Array s () and then s (i) and lbound(s) to ubound(s) and Last Not least Dog(12) and Print centered(Dog() )

It's quite new for me I want to say the different Handling for this Case s and s() but its Welcome cause its Working well
