[solved] Text display in Psycho backend
Hi Sebastian. I have a problem with the use of text_display item in an experiment builded in psycho backend. The problem is that the text is displayed only inside the center part of the screen, so two broad borders remain at the left and the right. Increasing the 'wrap line after' value doesn't work. Obviously this is a bit uncomfortable, since in this way I will have less space for writing the instructions. Have you some suggestion? Is there something to do to overcome that?

Hi Andrea,
I'm afraid the text_display plug-in doesn't work too well with the PsychoPy (although that will be fixed in 0.27). If it's too inconvenient, you could write your instructions using a sketchpad? (It's not as convenient, I know.)
Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Hi also thought using the sketchpad, but the problem remains the same. It seems that with Psycho, OpenSesame doesn't recognize the full screen (in my case 1366x768) but only a part of it. I also tryed to write the instructions using a Python code, but nothing, identical problem.
If you split the text up into shorter sentences it should work with a sketchpad, right? But I suppose in that case you might as well use short sentences in the text_input.
Perhaps the best alternative is then to simply create the instruction screen in an image editor (such as Inkscape or Gimp) and insert it as an image into a sketchpad.
Sorry, it's not ideal! But it will be much improved for 0.27, I assure you.

Ok, I will use an image. I had already created the instructions image, but I thought that there was a solution for the text_input problem. Btw, it is not a major problem.
