Ho to get center of the system screen

Hi, how can I get a point representing the screen center?
I need it to open a morph at that position. So far I tried with - World center - but the position is on the bottom right of the screen.
Does anyone know how to get it?
Thanks in advance

Display center

Hehe:

        morph openCenteredInWorld

Alternatively:
       
        morph center: World center

works for me ... not sure what you mean.

World and Display often have the same bountries.

myMorph postition: Display center .
Will put the morph top right at the center. Therefore the center of the morph will be more towards the bottom right.

myMorph center: Display center .
Will align the two centers which is usually what's wanted.

myMorph openCenteredInWorld .
Will usually put a newly created morph in the center. It can do other things depending on how myMorph deals with layout when sent the selector #openCenteredInWorld.

thanks guys! it works perfectly.. what I meant in my original post was that I tried with - myMorph position: World center - that as pointed out by jerome doesn't correspond to the display center.

It does. But your Morph's position is its upper-left corner so *that* gets aligned with the World's center.
