PfTextWidthChars()

Calculate the width of a char string of multibyte UTF-8 characters

Synopsis:

#include <photon/Pf.h>
int PfTextWidthChars( const char *font,
                      const char *str,
                      int len );

Arguments:

font
The name of the desired font. You should use PfGenerateFontName() to create this name.
str
A char string of multibyte UTF-8 characters.
len
The number of characters in the string. If len is 0, strlen(str) is assumed.

Library:

ph

Description:

PfTextWidthChars() is a convenience function that calculates the width of the given string in the given font, using the formula:

extent.lr.x - min(extent.ul.x, 0) + 1

PfTextWidthBytes() is similar, but you pass it the number of bytes in the string, not the number of characters.

Returns:

The width of the string, or 0 if an error occurred.

Classification:

Photon

Interrupt handler No
Signal handler No
Thread No
