Hello all! I'm working on a multiline function to determine the xPosition where a character is going to be drawn and then return the last Y position where the last character was drawn. This is because I'm working with a lots of dynamic strings with variable lengths.

Code:
 
public double fnEscribirMultilinea(string sLinea, int nCaracteres, double nSeparacion, double posX, double posY,  XFont xFuente, ref XGraphics gfx)
        {
           // StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder();
           // StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
            sLinea = sLinea.Replace("\n", "");
            sLinea = sLinea.Replace("\r", "");

            double separacionLetra = xFuente.Metrics.Ascent;

            int nCaracteresCadena = sLinea.Length;
            double posXTemp = posX;

            double xColumna = posX;
            double yRenglon = posY;

            if (nCaracteresCadena > nCaracteres)
            {

                for (int i = 0; i < nCaracteresCadena; i++)
                {
                    char caracter = sLinea[i];

                    if (((i == nCaracteres) || i % nCaracteres == 0) & i != 0)
                    {
                        yRenglon += nSeparacion;
                        gfx.DrawString(caracter.ToString(), xFuente, XBrushes.Black, posX, yRenglon, XStringFormats.TopLeft);
                        xColumna = posX + separacionLetra;

                    }
                    else if (i == 0)
                    {
                        gfx.DrawString(caracter.ToString(), xFuente, XBrushes.Black, xColumna, yRenglon, XStringFormats.TopLeft);
                        xColumna += separacionLetra;
                    }
                    else if (i < nCaracteres)
                    {
                        gfx.DrawString(caracter.ToString(), xFuente, XBrushes.Black, xColumna, yRenglon, XStringFormats.TopLeft);
                        xColumna += separacionLetra;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        gfx.DrawString(caracter.ToString(), xFuente, XBrushes.Black, xColumna, yRenglon, XStringFormats.TopLeft);
                        xColumna += separacionLetra;
                    }
                }

               
            }
            else { gfx.DrawString(sLinea, xFuente, XBrushes.Black, xColumna, yRenglon, XStringFormats.TopLeft); }


            return yRenglon;
        }



So far, the Y position separation works properly, but the X separation between characters needs to be adjusted according to the font that is being used.

Is there a way to determine the separation between characters according to the font without having to manually adjust this value?

Hi!

The trick used by the XTextFormatter class can be seen in the source code of this class and in this post:
