I recently made a macro to do almost-perfctly-centered text. Anyone
interested?

I'm interested. What is wrong with centered around bounding box? Or is it the
same? Could you provide some image to show atventage of your
"almost-perfctly-center" ?

I'm not sure what the advantage is over 'centered bounding boxes' (to be
perfectly honest I've never heard of using such a technique to do this).

See the Center_Object() macro in 'shapes.inc'
BTW, you should know that you should not post binaries in this group.

With MegaPOV and POV 3.5 you can find useful vector functions min_extent and
max_extent to get lower and higher corner of bounding object. With this you can
find center and size of any object. It is not perfect center but good enough in
almost all situations. You can use it as:
#declare Text=text {ttf "crystal.ttf" "Mahalis" 2 0};
#declare Min=min_extent(Text);
#declare Max=max_extent(Text);
#declare Size=Max-Min;
#declare Center=(Max+Min)/2;
object{Text translate -Center}
You can also find Center_Object in 3.5's standard include files.
So, is your solution still almost-perfect ?

Oh, you want count?
So let's simplify this 6 lines, remove not necessary space and group to macro
#macro Center(O)object{O translate-(max_extent(O)+min_extent(O))/2}#end
is your macro shorten? :-)
Note it works fine with all objects.
Center(text{ttf "crystal.ttf" "Mahalis" 2 0})
Center(sphere{0,1})

Poo. Well.. that only works in POV 3.5, whereas mine works equally well in
3.1 and 3.5.
Look, I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.. :-)

Do you really think this is completely accurate independently of the font
and characters used?
I would say that min_extent() and max_extent() are much more accurate than
that.

Well, you had good intent, just the implementation had a few problems...
