[ALLY] Determining Pixel size of font Re:
From: agem:crosswinds at: 16-Aug-2000 16:31
Not so used with faces, but -
make a separate wide layout with your stuff
and vid and look at its offsets?
normaly lots of auto-space, but padding can be changed?
Hey, now i have questions :)
(ah. one tool is 'size-text i read :)
and - how can i embed an already layout face like
measure-this in another layout?
can't remember.
THE DEMO
[rebol[title:"text sizes"]
as short as
measure-this: layout [ across
label "a" a: label "short" label "string" label "for you" ]
probe size-text a
or a bit longer:
measure-this: layout ;demonstrate label uses text size, not like fixed-button
[
across
label "a" a: label "short" label "string" label "for you"
return
label "a" b: label "and another very long" label "string" label "for you"
]
view/new measure-this
view/new layout [
across
label a/text label to string! size-text a
return
label b/text label to string! size-text b
]
do-events
]
