Quick Question: How to get "width" of a text.Label?

[Blaine]

Hi guys.

I've got a Label and I want to make it scroll off the screen, then repeat. With MoveTo() the scrolling isn't a problem, but I am having a heck of a time figuring out when the entire label is off screen. I imagine I can just take the x position (which will be negative), plus the width (or width/2 if we use center point) of the label, and restart it when this value is < 0.

However, I can't figure out how to tell the width of the Label. Pyglet.text.Label has content_width, but I can't find out how to access that either.

Hopefully it's something obvious. What do you say?

class ScrollingTextLayer(cocos.layer.Layer):

is_event_handler = True

def __init__(self, caption):

super(ScrollingTextLayer, self).__init__()        

x, y = director.get_window_size()

self.title = text.Label(

  caption, (x/2, y-50), font_name = 'Gill Sans',

  font_size = 64, anchor_x='center', anchor_y='center' )

self.add( self.title )

def on_enter(self):

super(ScrollingTextLayer,self).on_enter()

move = MoveBy((-800, 0), 1)

self.title.do( move )

Found it! Nevermind.
