Homebrew Devkit - Centering Text on screen/XL/Non-XL Screen Sizes?

[pman152]

So basically I need to find a way to center text on the Top screen and the Bottom screen.

Is there any function to get the screens size, As using that info I could just do:
({size} - {Text's Size} / 2) and that would then be the position of the center right?

hum, it doesn't matter afaik, both XL and non-XL have the same resolution? When printing text, don't you use (x,y) coordinates where x and y are in pixels?

The screen is always 400x240, right? Or 800x240 for 3D anyway?

Correct: ({screen size} - {text x + y} / 2) = Centered Text?
I believe
But I just dont know how to get the screen size itself.

what do you mean get the screen size? It's 400x240 (+ 400x240 for the other "eye" on the 3D)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

This is the screen of every 3DS (the 2DS doesn't show the Top Screen right, as it lacks 3D anyway)

Correct me if I am wrong.


You know the size of the screen is 400*240.

Ok so the text is lets say 32 width: ({400} - {32} / 2) = 184. That would be the center of the screen right?

I suppose that would indeed be centered.

Edit: check below

@ShinyMK I think the algorithm would be this:

For the top screen:
x = (400 - width) / 2
y = (240 - (height of font * number of rows of text)) / 2

For the bottom screen:
x = (320 - width) / 2
y = (240 - (height of font * number of rows of text)) / 2
