Method MeasureText
MeasureText(string, Font)
Provides the size, in pixels, of the specified text when drawn with the specified font.
public static SizeD MeasureText(string text, Font font)Parameters
Returns
- SizeD
The SizeD, in pixels, of
textdrawn on a single line with the specifiedfont. You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the DrawText(Graphics, string, Font, RectD, Color, TextFormatFlags) overloads that takes a TextFormatFlags parameter. For example, the default behavior of the TextRenderer is to add padding to the bounding rectangle of the drawn text to accommodate overhanging glyphs. If you need to draw a line of text without these extra spaces you should use the versions of DrawText(Graphics, string, Font, PointD, Color) and MeasureText(Graphics, string, Font) that take a SizeD and TextFormatFlags parameter. For an example, see MeasureText(Graphics, string, Font, SizeD, TextFormatFlags).
