    put drawString in the center

    I have the following line i my code.
    page.drawString("Distance: " + dist + " pixels", 50., 50);

    I had an example somewhere, but I can't find it right now. I do know that int the paint method, you use a FontMetrics object to find the String's width. Then you use the getBounds method of the applet to get the width and height. You can divide the 2 in half to find the center.

    If I find the actual code, I'll post it. It's not tough.

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.
