Help on display to canvas..

[picuser]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to display a sensor(potentiometer) reading from PC thru bluetooth with my phone Nokia5500. I use the ff. code to read..

for c in range(1,6):
    r=sock.read()
    if r=='\n':
      buf=''
      r=''
    else:         
      buf+=r
    print buf

I am able display the reading(in series) on the screen using bluetooth.
My question is how can I make it Center on the screen and use large font and use background color, and where do I place this code.

thanks in advance,
picuser

Hi guys, thanks very much for the support, I got it now . But can I ask one thing, how can I draw a circle and a pointer? Similar to a gauge...

The shapes you can draw on a canvas are described in the page I linked to earlier (the documentation). Just experiment with those functions.
