Raphael JS and Text positioning?

Question

I\'m trying to position text within the SVG canvas, by supplying x, y coordinates

var t = paper.text(50, 50, \"Raphaël\\nkicks\\nbutt!\");
<         


        

Answer 1

Text-anchor property for text method is set to 'middle' by default.

If you want to left align it then change text-anchor in attributes for the object:

var t = paper.text(50, 50, "Raphaël\nkicks\nbutt!").attr({'text-anchor': 'start'});
