关于Canvas.drawText中xy位置问题

问：canvas.drawText("3", x, y, paint);  x和y是指画得时候数字3中心的坐标吗？还是左上角的坐标？
答：x默认是‘3’这个字符的左边在屏幕的位置，如果设置了paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);那就是字符的中心，y是指定这个字符baseline在屏幕上的位置。

public void drawText (String text, float x, float y, Paint paint)
Since: API Level 1 Draw the text, with origin at (x,y), using the specified paint.
The origin is interpreted based on the Align setting in the paint.
Parameters
text The text to be drawn
x The x-coordinate of the origin of the text being drawn 
y The y-coordinate of the origin of the text being drawn 
paint The paint used for the text (e.g. color, size, style) 

Canvas 作为绘制文本时，使用FontMetrics对象，计算位置的坐标。 它的思路和java.awt.FontMetrics的基本相同。 
FontMetrics对象它以四个基本坐标为基准，分别为：

FontMetrics.top
FontMetrics.ascent
FontMetrics.descent
FontMetrics.bottom

   Paint textPaint = new Paint( Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
   textPaint.setTextSize( 35);
   textPaint.setColor( Color.WHITE);

   // FontMetrics对象
   FontMetrics fontMetrics = textPaint.getFontMetrics();
   String text = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu";

   // 计算每一个坐标
   float baseX = 0;
   float baseY = 100;
   float topY = baseY + fontMetrics.top;
   float ascentY = baseY + fontMetrics.ascent;
   float descentY = baseY + fontMetrics.descent;
   float bottomY = baseY + fontMetrics.bottom;

   // 绘制文本
   canvas.drawText( text, baseX, baseY, textPaint);

   // BaseLine描画
   Paint baseLinePaint = new Paint( Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);>
   baseLinePaint.setColor( Color.RED);
   canvas.drawLine(0, baseY, getWidth(), baseY, baseLinePaint);

   // Base描画
   canvas.drawCircle( baseX, baseY, 5, baseLinePaint);

   // TopLine描画
   Paint topLinePaint = new Paint( Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
   topLinePaint.setColor( Color.LTGRAY);
   canvas.drawLine(0, topY, getWidth(), topY, topLinePaint);

   // AscentLine描画
   Paint ascentLinePaint = new Paint( Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
   ascentLinePaint.setColor( Color.GREEN);
   canvas.drawLine(0, ascentY, getWidth(), ascentY, ascentLinePaint);

   // DescentLine描画
   Paint descentLinePaint = new Paint( Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
   descentLinePaint.setColor( Color.YELLOW);
   canvas.drawLine(0, descentY, getWidth(), descentY, descentLinePaint);

   // ButtomLine描画
   Paint bottomLinePaint = new Paint( Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
   bottomLinePaint.setColor( Color.MAGENTA);
   canvas.drawLine(0, bottomY, getWidth(), bottomY, bottomLinePaint);

drawText画字符串是baseline对齐的。所以要特别注意这点，不然画文字可能画到其它地方而误以为没有画出来。 

如果baseline对齐的话：底端的Y坐标是：(行高-字体高度)/2+字体高度 ，但是字符串并不居中，经过测试如果：(行高-字体高度)/2+字体高度-6 ，就稍微居中了一点。 以上的方法只是一个取巧的做法，网上也没有找到设置文字居中的方法。

按上面办法会有误差。加上那段距离应该就行了:

FontMetrics fontMetrics = mPaint.getFontMetrics();
float fontTotalHeight = fontMetrics.bottom - fontMetrics.top;
float offY = fontTotalHeight / 2 - fontMetrics.bottom;
float newY = baseY + offY;
canvas.drawText(text, baseX, newY, paint);

// 文本居中显示

FontMetricsInt fontMetrics = mTextPaint.getFontMetricsInt();
int centerX = width / 2;
int baseline = (height - fontMetrics.bottom + fontMetrics.top) / 2 - fontMetrics.top;
mTextPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);  
canvas.drawText(("text", centerX, baseline, mTextPaint);
