RE: TEXTOUT_P()
A GROB 8 needs to be defined beforehand.
inserting the line e.g.: DIMGROB_P(G8,80,100) would return the correct values. Here are my findings. 1. you know font(0) refers to the system font, don't you? (small(2), medium(3) or large(4)) 2. seems the GROB needs to be wide enough to hold the string 3. at least one pixel on the vertical axis of the GROB needs to be in the string 4. if not it defaults to the system font 5. unless the selected font is smaller than the system font, then it provides the correct value examples: 1. system font set to large DIMGROB_P(G8,1,1) // yes only one pixel ab:=TEXTOUT_P(str,G8,0,0,1); cd:=TEXTOUT_P(str,G8,0,60,7); returns 35 VS 56. 35 because font(1) is smaller than the system font, and 56 because font(7) is larger than the system font, therefor it defaults to the system font (large is equivalent to font(4)) 2. system font set to arbitrary size DIMGROB_P(G8,320,61) \\ Yes, just one pixel more on the y-axis works ab:=TEXTOUT_P(str,G8,0,0,1); cd:=TEXTOUT_P(str,G8,0,60,7); returns 35 VS 78 Conclusion: If you wish to utilize GROB 8 to keep track of the x-position where the next character would be printed, create GROB 8 with width of expected length of the string e.g 320 by a vertical size of at least 1 pixel. example. system font set to arbitrary size DIMGROB_P(G8,320,1) \\ Yes, only one pixel on the y-axis works ab:=TEXTOUT_P(str,G8,0,0,1); cd:=TEXTOUT_P(str,G8,0,0,7); returns 35 VS 78 HTH, Günter |
