Hello,

I'd like to display right justified text in my plugin (using cOsdItem and cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItem).

Is there any means to achieve this?

As an alternative, I would be satisifed with the number of characters that can be displayed on a row so I could use a normal, left-justified tab at a position "close" to the right of the OSD boundary.

How about looking into VDR/osd.h? ;-)

enum eTextAlignment { taCenter = 0x00, taLeft = 0x01, taRight = 0x02, taTop = 0x04, taBottom = 0x08, taDefault = taTop | taLeft };

void DrawText(int x, int y, const char *s, tColor ColorFg, tColor ColorBg, const cFont *Font, int Width = 0, int Height = 0, int Alignment = taDefault); ///< Draws the given string at coordinates (x, y) with the given foreground ///< and background color and font. If Width and Height are given, the text ///< will be drawn into a rectangle with the given size and the given ///< Alignment (default is top-left). If ColorBg is clrTransparent, no ///< background pixels will be drawn, which allows drawing "transparent" text.

Oops, sorry, I guess I was a little too fast - didn't see this at first...

Shit happens... I was confused, too...

I'm afraid this is currently not possible. What exactly would you need that for?

The intended use is to display the length of audio tracks or the number of items in a collection of tracks in a rightmost column. Obviously, I could use a left-justified tab at position 76, say. But if a skin only offered 70 columns that would be useless.
