Hi Louise,
 
you can just transform your score (an integer variable) to a string by using MATLAB's num2str command which you can then use in DrawText. In your case it would be something like:
 
DrawText(num2str(score),windowPointer, colour, x, y)
 
(I'm not sure about the order of the other arguments, but I suppose you can figure that out yourself)
 
Best regards

Subject: OSX - DrawText - can you call a variable within the text argument?

Hi -

I am wanting to use DrawText to write a cumulative score onto the
screen after each trial.
This cumulative score exists as a variable inside the trial 'for
loop' in my Matlab code, but I
can't see any way to insert a variable in the 'text' argument of
DrawText... Is this possible,
and if not does anyone know of another way that I could achieve this?

thanks,

Louise.
