If I have a text with an ever increasing length against the right side of the devices screen and I do not want it to leave the screen, how would I do this?
For text based on the bottom right corner:
textMode(CORNER)
To keep text from going off the screen:
textWrapWidth(WIDTH)
Full usage example:
fontSize(48)
textMode(CORNER)
textWrapWidth(WIDTH - 200)
text(string.rep("test ", 50), 100, 100)

etc, just look at Reference link at top of page
@Paintcannon Maybe something like this? Get width of string and subtract from its position
function setup()
parameter.text("textString","test")
end
function draw()
background(40, 40, 50)
local x,y = textSize(textString)
textMode(CORNER)
text(textString,WIDTH-x,400)
end
@Jaybob Yes this is in a way exactly what I was looking for (a way to measure the text size), thank you.
