Hi Jeremy,
I am working on an SPR experiment and this time around I intend to print all sentences in the center of the screen, but since the sentence length is variable depending on item type, it has become somewhat difficult to accurately determine the position of the fixation dots. Everything works good for the short sentences, but not for the longer ones. Here is the link to the experiment so you can get a sense of what I mean with the fixation dot placement: https://korpling.german.hu-berlin.de/ibexexps/plescaan/MGK_SFB_C03_L1_V2/experiment.html
Is there any way to keep the printing location variable on sentence length? I am not quite sure how to proceed and would be very grateful for any tips!
Thank you!
Best,
AnaHi Ana,
Are you trying to align
...with the start of the SPR sentence? If so, since you use a mono-spaced font to display the SPR sentence, you can simply pass a string of the same length to the three-dot Text element and it will be the exact same size as the SPR sentence, so if you print it at the same coordinates, they will be perfectly aligned. The trick is to make that string start with...and render all remaining (dummy) characters invisible, eg:// dots 1_1 newText("start1_1", "...<span style='visibility: hidden;'>"+ [...new Array(variable.context.length-3)].map(v=>'_').join('')+"</span>") .css({"font-size":"23px","font-family":"courier"}) .print("center at 50%", "middle at 50%") , // Keep the dots in place for about a second newTimer("start1_1_timer", 1000).start().wait() , // Remove the dots getText("start1_1").remove() , // context sentence newText ("read_ctxt","Lies bitte den ersten Satz und drücke die Leertaste um fortzufahren") .css({"font-size":"15px","font-family":"times new roman"}) .center() .color("red") .print("center at 50%", "middle at 46%") , // context sentence in SPR ...cumulative_ctxt(variable.context, "remove") , getText("read_ctxt").remove()Jeremy
