BitmapText: Is there a way to set alignment?

Troubleshooting General Help
1

After analysis of engine source code I had come to conclusion that there is no way to specify BitmapText’s text alignment. Alignment is hidden in StringBlock instance, which is inaccessible outside.



I have to use reflection to get round it:

[java]

BitmapText hint;

…

Field field = BitmapText.class.getDeclaredField(“block”);

field.setAccessible(true);

StringBlock block = (StringBlock) field.get(hint);

block.setAlignment(BitmapFont.Align.Center);

[/java]

It works as I want, but… I hope that a “legal” way escaped my attention or will be implemented soon=))

I guess it safe to add accessors to do that, so you don’t have to use reflection



Update to last SVN, you have now a setAlignment and getAlignment method on the BitmapText class.
