Number

 

Parameters

 

 

Remarks

 

The size returned is specified in the same terms (pixels or dialog units) as the parent dialog (or world coordinates, if those were chosen with Canvas_Scale).

This allows you to easily calculate the appropriate print position, particularly when using a proportional font.
