Purpose |
Retrieve the character size for the current font in the selected graphic target. |
|
Syntax |
GRAPHIC CHR SIZE TO ncWidth!, ncHeight! |
|
Remarks |
The graphic target must first be selected with GRAPHIC ATTACH. The character size is specified in the same terms (pixels or dialog units) as the parent dialog (or world coordinates, if they have been defined with a GRAPHIC SCALE statement). If the font is a fixed-width font, like Courier New or Lucida Console, the sizes returned are as exact as possible, given the rounding errors possible when converting from pixels to other coordinates. If the font is proportional, like Arial or Times New Roman, the width will be the average for the entire font. |
