How to Center text on OLED

[mbigos]

Anyone have a easy way to center text to written to a display using arduino IDE? I found display.getTextBounds but I haven't found a good example of how to use it.

@david_prentice has a helpful post on this:

Code: Select all

void drawCentreString(const char *buf, int x, int y)
{
    int16_t x1, y1;
    uint16_t w, h;
    display.getTextBounds(buf, x, y, &x1, &y1, &w, &h); //calc width of new string
    display.setCursor(x - w / 2, y);
    display.print(buf);
}

call with:

Code: Select all

  if (Input == 1) drawCentreString("ONE", 13, 12);
    else if (Input == 2) drawCentreString("TWO", 13, 12);
    else if (Input == 3) drawCentreString("THREE", 13, 12);
    ...
