Centering Text - Variable: ASCII String

[Paul Augood]

I am displaying a variable string in the HMI (its the site name of where the PLC is located). The properties are set to Center Center but the string is always justifying to the left. Checked the string length and this changes based on the name stored. I've written some code to add spaces to try to center the name but because of character sizes its not very centered - doesn't look  right. Any ideas anyone?

This is a problem with no good answer. I've struggled with this since the beginning of my time working with VisiLogic.

Same here, I tried to do a scrolling text once, and I noticed that it looked weird because of the variable character sizes.

This is a Visilogic thing and the odds are small that it will be addressed.

You've already tripped upon the work-around by adding leading spaces with code.  Try adding the Courier or another monospaced font for just that field.
