STRINGSIZE 2
NAME
stringsize, stringwidth, stringnwidth, runestringsize, runestringwidth, runestringnwidth - graphical size of strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h> #include <libc.h> #include <draw.h>
Point stringsize(Font *f, char *s)
int stringwidth(Font *f, char *s)
int stringnwidth(Font *f, char *s, int n)
Point runestringsize(Font *f, Rune *s)
int runestringwidth(Font *f, Rune *s)
int runestringnwidth(Font *f, Rune *s, int n)
DESCRIPTIONThese routines compute the geometrical extent of character strings when drawn on the display. The most straightforward, stringsize , returns a Point representing the vector from upper left to lower right of the NUL-terminated string s drawn in font f . Stringwidth returns just the x component. Stringnwidth returns the width of the first n characters of s .The routines beginning with rune are analogous, but accept an array of runes rather than UTF\c -encoded bytes.
