Measuring text width

Asked by Kim Gressens

Are there any calls avaiable in jeash to get the width of a giving string when rendered ? I've been searching for a couple of hours and haven't been able to find any.

Thanks!

I think TextFieldInst.textWidth should give you the right size.

Otherwise there are internal methods that are more accurate, but I don't recommend you use them, because they tend to change a lot.

An implementation for TextLineMetrics is desirable, but I don't really have the time to do it at the moment.
