(String str [, int tight]) |
typedict.Font |
| |
Returns a
Rectangle
that represents the bounds of the string
str
in user space if it were printed at the origin using this font.
The optional
tight
argument, which is
0
by default, controls the fit of the
Rectangle
to the
str.
By default the result is a "loose fitting"
Rectangle
that contains the origin and the advance point,
which is the where the current point (i.e., the origin) moves after
str
is printed, and extends
ascent
units above and
descent
units below the baseline, which is the line that connects the origin
to the advance point.
If the optional
tight
argument is supplied and is non-zero then the result will be a "tight fitting"
Rectangle
that just covers the characters in
str.
