!Restored: gdl text justificattion

Anonymous — Sat, 12 May 2007 18:42:49 GMT

I've searched everywhere to find a way to "justify right" the bold text in this simple script but to no avail. The help files say that I need to use a mask in the script. I understand what it's telling me but can't get the script right!! Any help??? Thanks Doug

Edit...My original post said that I was trying to justify left which is was this script does, my bad. I want it to justify right.

lw=7 5/16"
nb=a
dis=12"
dis2=2"
if nd='R' then dis = 23"
if nd='L' then dis2=13"
if lgtp ='4x8'and nd='L' then dis2=9"
if lgtp ='4x8'and nd='R' then dis=19"
DEFINE STYLE "mytext2" "ariel", 1.5, 1, 0

if st=0 then 10:

set style "mytext2"
TEXT2 (a-dis), lw-1", STR ("%0.16ffi",nb)

10:

set style "mytext2"
TEXT2 dis2, lw-1", row

!set style "mytext2"
!TEXT2 (A/2)-5",lw-1", cc

rect2 0,0,a,lw

hotspot2 0,0
hotspot2 0,lw
hotspot2 a,LW
hotspot2 a,0
hotspot2 a,lw/2
hotspot2 0,lw/2
hotspot2 lw/2,5"
hotspot2 lw/2,3"
hotspot2 lw/2,4"

set fill 16
poly2_b 5, 2, 100, 91,
0,0,1,
A,0,1,
A,lw,1,
0,lw,1,
0,0,1

It's in the DEFINE STYLE line. Without my manual handy, I can't say just which value it is though. If you have the GDL Manual (it's in your Archicad installation folder), you can probably look up the syntax.

Thanks Tom, I actually found it a few hours ago but had to go out for a while. It is Define Style....DEFINE STYLE "mytext2" "ariel", 1.5, 3, 0. The third entry is the anchor point of the text. I found the list of numbers and their corresponding anchor points(3 being justify right). It was a frustrating trial and error but I learned a couple other things in the process!! Thanks again Doug

Also...might want to spell Arial correctly if that is the font you want. 😉
