SVG text-placement

[meejah]

I don't have a good way to place the text in the histogram from cuv hist: there doesn't seem to be a good way to "know" how wide text is going to be (or, alternatively, make the origin of the text the right-hand-edge).

Perhaps there are some tricks I can play with the co-ordinate system etc...?

What I want is to figure out how many characters I can fit in the file-names label portion, and then put that amount there but lined up like in cuv graph so that the slashes from the same directory-level are at the same position.
