I am trying to display multiple lines of centered text

I am trying to ask a question that requires 2 lines of centered text but I cannot get the line break to work. This is what I have so far.

 chr = 'On a scale of 0 to 8, how much control did you have over the target circle? '; %% this is where I want the break
        chr = [chr '0 = no control & 8 = complete control'];
        formText(wPtr, chr ,xMid,yMid,[000 000 000])
        Screen('Flip',wPtr);
        exit=0;

@Adam Vilanova-Goldstein - can you add a \n to the end of the first sentence like

 chr = 'On a scale of 0 to 8, how much control did you have over the target circle?\n'; 
 chr = [chr '0 = no control & 8 = complete control'];

?

When I did that, the \n showed up in the text

Here's one way:

t = ["On a scale of 0 to 8, how much control did you have over the target circle?";
    "0 = no control & 8 = complete control"];
t = strjust(pad(t),'center');
fprintf('%s\n',t)

Thank you. I will try this. Does this method allow for font/size/color customization?

[Turlough Hughes]

You can change fonts using the "Fonts" section in preferences and that will affect all of the fonts in the command window. For emphasis/customisation of only part of the displayed text in command window, the only one I know is boldface:

disp('<strong>Bold Font</strong> Regular Font')
