- Returns the size of a bounding box of a string, taking kerning and advance into account.
+ Returns the size of a bounding box of a single-line string, taking kerning and advance into account. See also [method get_multiline_string_size] and [method draw_string].
+ For example, to get the string size as displayed by a single-line Label, use:
+ [codeblock]
+ var string_size = $Label.get_theme_font("font").get_string_size($Label.text, HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT_LEFT, -1, $Label.get_theme_font_size("font_size"))
+ [/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] Real height of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by [method get_height].
- See also [method draw_string].
