How can I move the origin of the Text element to its center, Like shown in the image below.

@FrancoRATOVOSON How did you achieve vertical centering? getTextWidth() does a great job for horizontal centering, but I can't figure it out for vertical centering.

We may expose more API methods from Skia that will allow you to get the metrics you need to layout your text. We are looking into it.
