measure

I'm working with canvases and i can't think of any solution, or find answer on line to my problem. I have a font that contains symbols\characters from varies sizes - heights and width. I want to draw some characters (Symbols) from the font and some on top\down of the symbol. The problem is that I can't figure out a way to have the exact height in pixels of the character that i'm drawing, and it's causes unwanted spaces between the center symbol to the one on top\down (for getting the width of a string there is the function context.measureText(theText) ). for ex. lets say that i want 'X' to be

Can somebody please explain how I would go about measuring the string inside a richtextbox control so that the I can automatically resize the richtextbox control according to its content? Thank you Edit: I've thought about it, and since the below answer won't work if there are different fonts in the RichTextBox Control, what if, I could get the upper-left coords of the richtextbox control and then get the bottom-right coords of the very last line of text inside the rtb. That would essentially give me the Width and Height of the string inside the RichTextBox Control. Is this possible? Or is

I'm currently writing an eBook reader for Windows Phone Seven, and I'm trying to style it like the Kindle reader. In order to do so, I need to split my books up into pages, and this is going to get a lot more complex when variable font sizes are added. To do this at the moment, I just add a word at a time into the textblock until it becomes higher than its container. As you can imagine though, with a document of over 120,000 words, this takes an unacceptable period of time. Is there a way I can find out when the text would exceed the bounds (logically dividing it into pages), without having to

I want to measure the execution of a piece of code and I'm wondering what the best method to do this is? Option 1: DateTime StartTime = DateTime.Now; //Code TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now.Subtract(StartTime); string elapsedTime = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}.{3:00}", ts.Hours, ts.Minutes, ts.Seconds, ts.Milliseconds / 10); Console.WriteLine(elapsedTime, "RunTime"); Option 2: using System.Diagnostics; Stopwatch stopWatch = new Stopwatch(); stopWatch.Start(); //Code stopWatch.Stop(); // Get the elapsed time as a TimeSpan value. TimeSpan ts = stopWatch.Elapsed; // Format and display the

I have looked at the similar questions and tried their solutions but it did not work for me. I try to take width of an imageView, but it returns 0. Here is the code: public class MainActivity extends Activity { private ImageView image1; float centerX,centerY; private ImageView image2; private boolean isFirstImage = true; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.rotate); image1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ImageView01); image2 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ImageView02); image2.setVisibility(View.GONE); if
