PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Is there a method similar to .MeasureString that returns the width? I need to position a second font element based on on how long the first.

Hi,

Yes there is. Its a method in the XGraphics class called MeasureString....

to get an XGraphics object you do XGraphics.FromPdfPage(yourPageHere), where your page here could be something like myPdfDocument.Pages[0] etc.

The XGraphics MeasureString() method basically works like the normal MeasureString, but yuu pass in the relevant font ( i presume its a XFont, but havnt checked - intellisense will tell you though... ) and the string you wish to measure, the function will then return a XRectangle or something like that, which you can get the width from.

Hope this helps

Mike

Thanks! Worked like a champ!
