string_metrics_dev | R Documentation |
This function is much like string_widths_dev()
but also returns the ascent
and descent of the string making it possible to construct a tight bounding
box around the string.
string_metrics_dev(
strings,
family = "",
face = 1,
size = 12,
cex = 1,
unit = "cm"
)
strings |
A character vector of strings to measure |
family |
The font families to use. Will get recycled |
face |
The font faces to use. Will get recycled |
size |
The font size to use. Will get recycled |
cex |
The cex multiplier to use. Will get recycled |
unit |
The unit to return the width in. Either |
A data.frame with width
, ascent
, and descent
columns giving the
metrics in the requested unit.
Other device metrics:
string_widths_dev()
# Get the metrics as measured in cm (default)
string_metrics_dev(c('some text', 'a string with descenders'))
