This function retrieves the theoretical width and height (in pixels) of a certain piece of text, if it were to be drawn using dxDrawText.

NOTE: This function already takes the client's screen resolution into account.

Syntax

float, float dxGetTextSize ( string text, [float width=0, float scaleXY=1.0, float=scaleY=1.0, mixed font="default", bool wordBreak=false, bool colorCoded=false] )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Note: This syntax requires you to ignore the font argument above
Method: font:getSize(...)


Required Arguments

  • text: A string representing the text for which you wish to retrieve with width for.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

  • width: The width of the text. Use with wordBreak = true.
  • scale: The size of the text. Can (optionally) be specified as two floats. i.e. scaleX, scaleY
  • font: Either a custom DX font element or the name of a built-in dx font:
    • "default": Tahoma
    • "default-bold": Tahoma Bold
    • "clear": Verdana
    • "arial": Arial
    • "sans": Microsoft Sans Serif
    • "pricedown": Pricedown (GTA's theme text)
    • "bankgothic": Bank Gothic Medium
    • "diploma": Diploma Regular
    • "beckett": Beckett Regular
    • "unifont": Unifont
  • wordBreak: If set to true, the text will wrap to a new line whenever it reaches the right side of the bounding box. If false, the text will always be completely on one line.
  • bColorCoded: Should we exclude color codes from the width? (false will include the hex in the length)

Returns

Returns two floats representing the width and height of the text (in pixels).
