Question

I’m creating a bitmap font label like so:

CCLabelBMFont *label = [CCLabelBMFont labelWithString:@"Hello" fntFile:@"HeaderFont.fnt" width:300 alignment:kCCTextAlignmentLeft];

Then I’m poisitioning it at:

label.position =  ccp(0, size.height-100);

So I’m thinking the label should be start drawing from the left-most side of the screen (0), and a little below the top (size.height-100), but when the label draws, it’s appearing offset to the left, like it’s drawing on the X axis at -200 or something. Its as thought the alignment just isn’t working at all.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

//x-axis Left alignment : y-center

label.anchorPoint = ccp(0.0f,0.5f);
label.position = startCharPos;

//x-axis Right alignment : y-center

label.anchorPoint = ccp(1.0f,0.5f);
label.position = startCharPos;

I guess u want to align left-top. So try this

label.anchorPoint = ccp(0.0f,1.0f);
label.position = startCharPos;
