Hi,
I am printing something and I need to know how much printer units a specific string measures.

Having a:

PrinterJob pd("Sample");
Draw& w=pd.GetDraw();

how does we get the length in printer units of a string to be printed?

Many thanks

Alex

GetTextSize. Or, if you wish more sophisticated text layout, use FontInfo...

Note that "printer units" are dots, basically pixels on 600dpi printer (if printer does not have 600dpi, it is being converted).
