Hello,
Apologies if this question is trivial (or if I'm really going about this
all wrong)...
I have a BView (not a BStringView) on which I want to draw a string using a
certain font size and weight by calling for example:
DrawString(someBString.String(), BPoint(5.0,5.0));
The string contents will change and I need to adjust the size of the BView
based on the new string size.
Is there a way I can calculate how much space the newly drawn string will
occupy?
While we're at it, what about a way to center-align the drawn string within
the BView?
Thanks in advance,
hey68you
