Measure Text Length in Pixel?

[Jay Van Diyk]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the size of a text in pixel.

Here is a function I wrote:

int TextDrawer::width(const void *text)
{
    SkScalar width = skPaint->measureText(text, 2);
    return width;
}

and when I use the function like this.

QString outputString="HELLO SKIA";
textDrawer->width((void *)outputString.utf16());

It works, but it returns 56 . I dont know what unit is that value in, but it is definitely not in PIXEL as I wanted it to be.

Question:

How do I measure a text's width in PIXEL????

Thank you

Jay

measureText returns the advance-width for the text string, based on the typeface and textsize currently set on the paint. It is returned in pixels, but may be fractional, depending on the typeface and settings (e.g. kSubpixelText, kLinearText, etc.).
