Syntax

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

<Result>: Real

Height of specified text (in millimeters) if the print is 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 height is requested.
Caution: a height is returned even if the text to print corresponds to an empty string.

Remarks

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

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

Calculating the height of a text containing CR characters

iTextHeight ignores the CR characters found in the text. You must count the number of CR characters in order to add as many times the text height to get the total height.
