Set drawTextAtPoint position relative to viewport?

Scripting

I’d like to make the

def drawTextAtPoint( self, text, textPosition, fontSize=10.0, fontColor=NSColor.colorWithCalibratedRed_green_blue_alpha_( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) )

So that it is aligned right to the top right corner of my text view for example. textPosition = (-50, -50) like with Vanilla doesn’t work?

You Need to get the visibleRect() of the view and calculate the text position from it.

editTabGraphicView = self.controller.graphicView()
# visibleRect = editTabGraphicView.visibleRect()
( ( tX, tY ), ( tWidth, tHeight ) ) = editTabGraphicView.visibleRect()
textPosition = ( tX, tY )

Edit: figured it out, now just have to figure out how to keep it in the same spot… it still moves with the window…

Edit2: Found it! I have to divide the tX, tY by getScale()

Could you please help with this, at 1000Pt it works exaclty as I’d like, but when I zoom in or out, the position messes up: http://quick.as/64gDsQ8D8

See this line:

textPosition = ( ( math.floor(tX)+30 )/self.getScale(), ( (tY + tHeight + 30)/self.getScale() ) )
