calculating row height for specific font

[bwolfsohn]

Roger, etal,

I'm working on a report using dcprint, with a standard grid of 60x80.

One of the items i'm printing is using a small font 7.Arial or 8.Arial.

I'd like to move down a partial row (xx:=xx+.nn) instead of an entire row (xx++) when printing an entire paragraph in this small font.

How do i calculate the specific row height (.nn) in terms of xx for a given font ?

Hi Brian,

Have a look at Roger's PageSize example in \Samples\Printer

Best regards,

Brian -

Look at the function DC_GraQueryTextBox().
It returns an array based on the text and font.

Hi Brian,

I'm using the following:

Code: Select all

oPrinter:SetFont(aFont[x])
oFont := oPrinter:GetFontObject() 
nHeight := oFont:height 

Hope this helps.
