UCGLIB text locations

I connected my 1.8 128x160 TFT display and am using UCGLIB

I have 4 sensors,
(2) BMP that show temperature, humidity and pressure
and (2) DS18B20 temperature only

I cannot figure out how to place the text on the screen to be aligned.

I cannot find a reference to how this line puts the text over so many columns

ucg.setPrintPos(2,50+d); ucg.print("Temp = "); ucg.print(temp1);

question : what does ucg.setPrintPos(2,50+d);
do ? the 2, is not start, or the +d does something I do not understand.

it would seem like it should start at 2,50 but is it more like 50,50 for (temp1)

Since this is the first color display, I am just starting to figure things out.
my display completely refreshes, like a window shade
I would like to only have the text refresh.

What am hoping for is to align the decimal places in the screen, always have 2

Here is my font segment

void fonts(void) // ++++++++++++++++++ FONTS +++++++++++++++++

  ucg_int_t d = 5;
  ucg.setColor(0, 0, 40, 80);

  ucg.setPrintPos(2,118+d);    ucg.print("D.P.  =  "); ucg.print(deltaT);

  ucg.setPrintPos(108,50+d);    ucg.print(temp2); // testing font location
  ucg.setPrintPos(109,67+d);    ucg.print(rh2);
  ucg.setPrintPos(110,84+d);    ucg.print(pres2);

 // ucg.setPrintPos(2,118+d);   ucg.print(OAT); // not implemented yet Other Air Temp ds18b20

  
  ucg.setFontMode(UCG_FONT_MODE_TRANSPARENT);
  
  ucg.setFont(ucg_font_ncenR14_hr);
  DLY();
}

my full code was too large to attach.

It is written in the user manual: reference · olikraus/ucglib Wiki · GitHub

Isn't it your program? If you don't understand this, then why did you code it?

Your code selects a none-monospaced font. These fonts look better, but each glyph has a different width.
With such a code you should prefix each print command with its own setPos command.

the manual does not list this bit of code.
the code came from the example in the Arudion IDE, so I need to find out who wrote that code and ask them.
I just took the example and extracted the fonts section as I did not need the bits about drawing random triangles and blocks.

Thanks for the tip on printing each line. I could not find if an 'align on decimal point' is a supported feature.
I did not find an alight to right column for text. it seems that the starting point is the left point, this means that due to variable width and numbers in the results, the decimals will not align easily.
I was hoping that if an align to decimal was not available, I would align the whole numbers to the right point, place a decimal, then align the decimals after the more normal left point

Thanks for the libraries and all your hard work on this.
