 <p>Solved it, there is a method in the CCDrawNode class, with which you can paint a dot:</p> <pre><code> CCDrawNode *oneRedPixelA = [[CCDrawNode alloc] init]; CGPoint positionA = CGPointMake(aLabel.contentSize.width * aLabel.anchorPoint.x, aLabel.contentSize.height * aLabel.anchorPoint.y); [oneRedPixelA drawDot:positionA radius:3.0f color:ccc4f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f)]; [aLabel addChild:oneRedPixelA z:500]; </code></pre>
