str_extents {gdtools} | R Documentation

## Compute string extents.

### Description

Determines the width and height of a bounding box that's big enough to (just) enclose the provided text.

### Usage

    str_extents(x, fontname = "sans", fontsize = 12, bold = FALSE,
      italic = FALSE, fontfile = "")

### Arguments

`x` | Character vector of strings to measure
`fontname` | Font name
`fontsize` | Font size
`bold, italic` | Is text bold/italic?
`fontfile` | Font file

### Examples

    # The first run can be slow when font caches are missing
    # as font files are then being scanned to build those font caches.
    str_extents(letters)
    str_extents("Hello World!", bold = TRUE, italic = FALSE,
      fontname = "sans", fontsize = 12)
