gp:draw-string is always left aligned. I am drawing y-axis of a chart and I want all the numbers to be right- aligned to the y-axis. Is there a parameter in gp:-draw-string that will allow me to induce right-ward alignment? Or must this only be done manually? For example, calculating the pixel width of the string and shift x accordingly. If so, is there a method for calculating the pixel width automatically? Thank you, Dr. Atip Asvanund

Yes, that's how I did it when I needed this. > If so, is there a method for calculating the pixel width automatically? GP:GET-STRING-EXTENT. I attach some code that I wrote as part of my own chart-drawing library. Please feel free to use this code. -- Arthur
