| stringsize |
(String str [, int tight]) |
typedict.Font |
| |
Returns a
Dimension
that represents the width and height of the string
str
in user space if it were printed using this font.
The optional
tight
argument, which is
0
by default, controls the fit of the
Dimension
to the
str.
By default the result is a "loose fitting"
Dimension
that covers the origin and the advance point,
which is the where the current point (i.e., the origin) moves after
str
is printed, and extends
ascent
units above and
descent
units below the baseline, which is the line that connects the origin
to the advance point.
If the optional
tight
argument is supplied and is non-zero then the result will be a "tight fitting"
Dimension
that just covers the characters in
str.
stringsize
and
stringbounds
are closely related.
In fact the width and height that you get from
stringsize
are also available in the
Rectangle
that
stringbounds
returns, but the fact that the answer is a
Dimension
means
stringsize
can be used to initialize fields like
size
and
preferredsize
that are found in most Swing and AWT components.
