Hi everyone,
I´m programming a memory experiment. Participants are presented two lists of four digits. Each digit is presented in the centre of a polygon. Four polygons are arranged side by side, so that a “list” is created. I defined the size and the position of the polygons in pixels (it´s the info I have from a previous experiment, which was programmed in C++, so in order to make the stimuli as similar as possible, I used pixels as well), which works absolutely fine. What doesn´t work is to define the position of the text stimulus in pixels…As soon as I set “pix” as unit, the text stimuli are not presented anymore.
Here is the code snippet where the polygons and text stimuli are defined:
polygonR = visual.Rect(
win=win, name='polygonR',units='pix',
width=(50,50)[0], height=(50,50)[1],
ori=0, pos=(-100,50 ),
lineWidth=2, lineColor=1.0, lineColorSpace='rgb',
fillColor=[-1,-1,-1], fillColorSpace='rgb',
opacity=1, depth=-1.0, interpolate=True)
polygonR_2 = visual.Rect(
win=win, name='polygonR_2',units='pix',
width=(50,50)[0], height=(50,50)[1],
ori=0, pos=(-50, 50),
lineWidth=2, lineColor=1.0, lineColorSpace='rgb',
fillColor=[-1,-1,-1], fillColorSpace='rgb',
opacity=1, depth=-2.0, interpolate=True)
polygonR_3 = visual.Rect(
win=win, name='polygonR_3',units='pix',
width=(50,50)[0], height=(50,50)[1],
ori=0, pos=(0, 50),
lineWidth=2, lineColor=1.0, lineColorSpace='rgb',
fillColor=[-1,-1,-1], fillColorSpace='rgb',
opacity=1, depth=-3.0, interpolate=True)
polygonR_4 = visual.Rect(
win=win, name='polygonR_4',units='pix',
width=(50,50)[0], height=(50,50)[1],
ori=0, pos=(50,50),
lineWidth=2, lineColor=1.0, lineColorSpace='rgb',
fillColor=[-1,-1,-1], fillColorSpace='rgb',
opacity=1, depth=-4.0, interpolate=True)
polygonB_1 = visual.Rect(
win=win, name='polygonB_1',units='pix',

polygonB_2 = visual.Rect(

ori=0, pos=(0, -50),
lineWidth=2, lineColor=1.0, lineColorSpace='rgb',
fillColor=[-1,-1,-1], fillColorSpace='rgb',
opacity=1, depth=-7.0, interpolate=True)
polygonB_4 = visual.Rect(
win=win, name='polygonB_4',units='pix',
width=(50,50)[0], height=(50,50)[1],
ori=0, pos=(50, -50),
lineWidth=2, lineColor=1.0, lineColorSpace='rgb',
fillColor=[-1,-1,-1], fillColorSpace='rgb',
opacity=1, depth=-8.0, interpolate=True)
digit1 = visual.TextStim(win=win, name='digit1',
text=None,
font='Arial Bold',
units='norm', pos=(-0.075, 0.05), height=0.08, wrapWidth=None, ori=0,

digit3 = visual.TextStim(win=win, name='digit3',

digit5 = visual.TextStim(win=win, name='digit5',

units='pix', pos=[-75,-50], height=0.08, wrapWidth=None, ori=0,

digit7 = visual.TextStim(win=win, name='digit7',

digit8 = visual.TextStim(win=win, name='digit8',
text=None,

units='pix', pos=[75,-50], height=0.08, wrapWidth=None, ori=0,
color='white', colorSpace='rgb', opacity=1,
languageStyle='LTR',
depth=-16.0);
digit1.text = digit_1
digit2.text = digit_1
digit3.text = digit_1
digit4.text = digit_1
digit5.text = digit_1
digit6.text = digit_1
digit7.text = digit_1
digit8.text = digit_1
I was playing around with the units, e.g. if I set the units for one text stimulus to “norm” and changed the values, this stimulus was presented. Is anyone having any ideas…?Any kind of help is appreciated 
Thanks in advance!
