Line spacing and DrawString??

Drew

I posted this to framework.drawi ng, but did not get any responses...
Maybe here??

I am drawing some text using DrawString() and using a bounding
rectangle so that when the string is too long it wraps automatically.
I want to decrease the amount of space between the lines. How would I
go about changing the LineSpacing? The FontFamily has a read only
property.

Any ideas?

Hi Drew,

Thanks for posting in this group.
It seems that .Net does not allow use to set linespacing property.
I think the only workaround is do the drawstring yourself. For example, you
should calculate the rectangle's width, then you should split your string
into several sectors.
For each string sector, you can use DrawString method to specify the
upper-left point of this string sector. This allows you to apply your
drawing logic.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,

Changing Line Spacing in JLabel (and other Swing Components)

I'm testing a GUI app on a couple Linux boxen and one Win2k box. I'm using Java 1.4.2 on each (or the closest on Win2k -- whatever version comes close). On one Linux box and the Win2k box the line spacing is very close (for example, when I use HTML in JLabels, or even in JTextAreas), but on the other Linux box, the line spacing is much wider. I'm using default Swing fonts -- I'm not setting anything. I can't find a field or function...

words per line OT?

by: Jeff Thies | last post by:

It seems that there can be too many words on a line. This is a problem with pages that are not fixed width. There seems to be a few problems. 1) Finding where the next line starts after finishing a long line. 2) The pages just look too wordy and it is tiring to read. I would think that there are already "formulas" for word count, lineheight

Aligning line spacing following different font sizes on the same line

by: John | last post by:

Now and again I like to start a sentence with a large capital, maybe in a different font. This upsets the line spacing and I've failed to find any css that will effectively crop the capital letter from the bottom, to allow the line spacing of the following smaller font text to remain unaffected. I've always had to resort to a graphic for the leading capital - is there a way I can do this with css? Thanks John

Problem with line spacing when using display:inline

by: Danny | last post by:

I have a small <div> element which contains two text blocks - one within <h5> tags and the other within <p> tags. I don't want any extra line spacing between elements so use the display:inline property. This works for IE6 but Opera7.54 and Netscape7.1 add large line spacing between the text blocks and any lines of wrapped text. The line spacing is independant of the font size and is consistent between all lines. ie: it's not larger...
