Text in Bitmap question:

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Hi!

I'm outputing text to bitmap using following code:

//Create new bitmap
oPic = new Bitmap(100,150);

//Get Graphics
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(oPic);

//Set quality to high.
g.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;

g.Clear(Color.White);

Font myFont = new Font("Arial", 7);
SolidBrush myBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);

// Create point for upper-left corner of drawing.
float x = 0.0F;
float y = 0.0F;

// Set format of string.
StringFormat myFormat = new StringFormat();
myFormat.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.FitBlackBox;

// Create rectangle for drawing.
float width = 99.0F;
float height = 149.0F;
RectangleF myRect = new RectangleF( x, y, width, height);
// Draw rectangle to screen.
Pen whPen = new Pen(Color.Black);
g.DrawRectangle(whPen, x, y, width, height);

g.DrawString(s, myFont, myBrush, myRect, myFormat);


But I have following problem:

Sometimes I have more text then could fit in rectangle specified.

Ideally I would like to create bitmap with width(100) and heigth that allow
for all text to be fit.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!

Since there is no reply I assume it's not possible...

Hi Ivan,

You might want to use the Graphics.MeasureString method. It will give you
size information which might help you.
