Is there an equivalent of .stringWidth but for height? Would be useful for scaling text despite the selected font.

Or you could look at the vector fonts....

Afraid there isn't anything - with vector fonts, you basically specify the height with setFontVector(height), and the built-in font is 6px high. For custom fonts you'd have to figure it out yourself...

It didn't occur to me that the value for setFontVector was the height, the reference just says size. Thanks

Thanks - I'll try and update the docs...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
