drawstring

I need to be able to rotate text in a label and align it to the left, right or center. So far I am able to do rotation with this code in the derived label's onPaint method: float width = graphics.MeasureString(Text, this.Font).Width; float height = graphics.MeasureString(Text, this.Font).Height; double angle = (_rotationAngle / 180) * Math.PI; graphics.TranslateTransform( (ClientRectangle.Width + (float)(height * Math.Sin(angle)) - (float)(width * Math.Cos(angle))) / 2, (ClientRectangle.Height - (float)(height * Math.Cos(angle)) - (float)(width * Math.Sin(angle))) / 2); graphics

I'm using GDI+ to draw a string on a Graphics object. I want the string to fit inside a pre-defined rectangle (without breaking any lines) Is there's anyway of doing this besides using TextRenderer.MeasureString() in a loop until the desirable size is returned? something like: DrawScaledString(Graphics g, string myString, Rectangle rect) You can use the ScaleTransform string testString = @"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse et nisl adipiscing nisl adipiscing ultricies in ac lacus. Vivamus malesuada eros at est egestas varius tincidunt libero porttitor.

As you can see in the image below, the text on the picturebox is different from the one in the textbox. It is working alright if I use Graphics.DrawString() but when I use the Graphics Path, it truncates and doesn't show the whole text. What do you think is wrong in my code? Here is my code: public LayerClass DrawString(LayerClass.Type _text, string text, RectangleF rect, Font _fontStyle, PaintEventArgs e) { using (StringFormat string_format = new StringFormat()) { rect.Size = e.Graphics.MeasureString(text, _fontStyle); rect.Location = new PointF(Shape.center.X - (rect.Width / 2), Shape.center

I am trying to visually center an arbitrary user-supplied string on a JPanel. I have read dozens of other similar questions and answers here on SO but haven't found any that directly address the problem I am having. In the code sample below, getWidth() and getHeight() refer to the width and height of the JPanel on which I'm placing the text string. I have found that TextLayout.getBounds() does a very good job of telling me the size of a bounding rectangle that encloses the text. So, I figured that it would be relatively simple to center the text rectangle in the JPanel rectangle by calculating

I use drawString() method to draw string using Graphics, but I want to center my text in a rectangle. How should I do that? I've used this to center text on a JPanel Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g; FontMetrics fm = g2d.getFontMetrics(); Rectangle2D r = fm.getStringBounds(stringTime, g2d); int x = (this.getWidth() - (int) r.getWidth()) / 2; int y = (this.getHeight() - (int) r.getHeight()) / 2 + fm.getAscent(); g.drawString(stringTime, x, y); Centering text has a lot of "options". Do you center absolutely or based on the base line?? Personally, I prefer the absolute center position, but it
