iPrint(x)
iEndPrinting()

Syntax

<Result> = iTextWidth([<Font identifier> + ] <Text to print>)

<Result>: Real

Width (in millimeters) of specified text if the print was performed,
-1 if the print was canceled before running the function.

<Font identifier>: Optional character string

Identifier of the font used, returned by iFont. If this parameter is not specified, the last font used will be selected.

<Text to print>: Character string (with quotes)

Character string whose width is requested.

Remarks

Special cases

Depending on the destination (printer, file, ...), the width returned by iTextWidth may differ (by a tenth of a millimeter) for the same text, displayed in the same font. This difference is caused by the display mechanism used by Windows.

Calculating the width of a text written with fonts of different sizes

You must call iTextWidth for each text that is using a different font.

Calculating the width of a text containing CR characters

iTextWidth ignores the CR characters found in the text. You must call iTextWidth for each line found in the string.

Various

A call to iParameter after iTextWidth will have no action because the print is initialized.
