SVG text not horizontally center aligning

Question

I generated a SVG using Adobe XD. They use transform for positioning things but the text in my mini computer screen is not always the same width (it is dynamically generated). I have tried anchored, anything I could find but it still didn't work. This is how it looks with the current code:

Here is the code:

 <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="903.5" height="860.5" viewBox="0 0 1200 1041"> <g transform="translate(-397)"> <g transform="translate(507 975)" fill="#fff" stroke="#707070" strokeWidth="1" > <rect width="907" height="66" rx="33" stroke="none" /> <rect x="0.5" y="0.5" width="906" height="65" rx="32.5" fill="none" /> </g> <rect width="119" height="395" transform="translate(901 613)" fill="#fff" /> <g transform="translate(397)" fill="#232323" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="30" > <rect width="1127" height="627" rx="103" stroke="none" /> <rect x="15" y="15" width="1097" height="597" rx="88" fill="none" /> </g> <text fill="white" fontSize="96" fontFamily="Fredoka" > {screenText} </text> </g> </svg>

Answer 1

You can use transform/translate, text-anchor and dominant-baseline to place a text in the middle of something.

 body { background: gray; }

 <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1200 1041"> <g transform="translate(600 975)" fill="#fff" stroke="#707070" stroke-width="1"> <rect x="-453.5" width="907" height="66" rx="33" stroke="none" /> <rect x="-454" y="0.5" width="906" height="65" rx="32.5" fill="none" /> </g> <rect width="119" height="395" transform="translate(545.5 613)" fill="#fff" /> <g transform="translate(50)" fill="#232323" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="30"> <rect width="1127" height="627" rx="103" stroke="none" /> <rect x="15" y="15" width="1097" height="597" rx="88" fill="none" /> </g> <text fill="#fff" font-size="96" font-family="Fredoka" transform="translate(600 300)" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle"> {screenText} </text> </svg>

Thanks to Buhan Yu's comment I learned that you need to specify x and y to center align it. I set x="50%" and it worked!
