IntuiTextLength -- Return the length (pixel-width) of an IntuiText.
Length = IntuiTextLength( IText )
D0 A0
LONG IntuiTextLength( struct IntuiText * );
This routine accepts a pointer to an instance of an IntuiText structure,
and returns the length (the pixel-width) of the string which that
instance of the structure represents.
NOTE: if the Font pointer of your IntuiText structure is set to NULL,
you'll get the pixel-width of your text in terms of the current system
default font. You may wish to be sure that the field IText->ITextFont
for 'default font' text is equal to the Font field of the screen it is
being measured for.
IText = pointer to an instance of an IntuiText structure
Returns the pixel-width of the text specified by the IntuiText data
Would do better to take a RastPort as argument, so that a NULL in
the Font pointer would lead automatically to the font for the
intended target RastPort, rather than the system default font.
