CharacterMetrics(String)

Initializes a new instance of the CharacterMetrics class by specifying the metrics as a string.

C#

public CharacterMetrics(string metrics);

Parameters

metrics

String

A comma-delimited String value that represents the metrics for the character.

Remarks

The metrics parameter is a comma-delimited string that specifies the CharacterMetrics properties in the following order:

• BlackBoxWidth

• BlackBoxHeight

• Baseline

• LeftSideBearing

• RightSideBearing

• TopSideBearing

• BottomSideBearing

The first two properties, BlackBoxWidth and BlackBoxHeight, are required. However, the other five properties are optional, and will default to zero if not specified. For example, if you specify the string value of "0.75,0.75,,0.1" for the metrics parameter, the BlackBoxWidth, BlackBoxHeight, and LeftSideBearing properties are set - the unspecified properties are set to zero.
