Finding the width of a string

Questions
1

I forgot how to find the width of Static Text given the font and the fontsize before drawing it? Can’t find the info, probably bad search terms.

2

See String method .bounds, e.g.

"my string".bounds(Font.default);
3

I was actually looking for QtGUI.stringBounds (I found it in some old code), but I see that your suggestion yields the same result. Thanks.

4

Pedantic, but I think better to call GUI.stringBounds than QtGUI.stringBounds? (This is what the string method does.)

Excellent! I didn’t know this was actually available, this is something I missed for years :slight_smile: . Thanks for the info.
