Hi all
i look for a way to get the height of a multiline text. Is it possible with something like xxx:getWidth(). Anyone has an idea ?

weird but i would guess
Code: Select all
your_font:getHeight() * select(2, your_font:getWrap("text you're printing", your_printf_width))

I typically store mutliline text as a table with strings, one for each line. That makes it simpler, just
font:getHeight() * #texts
