Determine width of a canvas string

[junglejet]

I need to position a string on a canvas.

The end of the string needs to be positioned relative to a mark on the screen.
My conservative thinking would be that I need to determine the width of the string and then draw the string to the left of the mark at x position "mark-width".

So I would need to determine the width of the string, a function I cannot find.

Or is there any other method that makes things easier?

Yes. You should pass "RIGHT" as the align value. The text will end at the specific origin.

Canvas.MeasureStringWidth(.....)

Look it up in the beginner guide.

I hope this helps.
