(*_*)

probably pointers are NULL

i am a bit ill, so sorry

i did it directly when it was created so all pointers where pointing to0x000000 it works fine now

But is there a better way to place a text relative to the upper left corner?

if i do it like that

Code:

region_left+= t_resolution.create(Vec2(0.0f,-0.03f),"Resolution:");

only a part of the text is displayed.
so i want to get the size to place it at the right pos

You could always use "D.w()" and "D.h()" if you want to place text relative to the screen.

You can control text alignment with textds.align

Thx.

thought align vec2(0,0) means upperleftcorner at pos 0,0 not center

vec2(1,0) and its fine
