[reportlab-users] Finding out the width/height of text

[Jotham]

Hello,

I am wanting to use ReportLab to generate both a bitmap (for live preview in
a client application) and PDF for dispatch to a printer.  I have a client
application that allows some basic alterations to be made by the user, for
this to work I need to be able to find out some geometry information for a
given piece of text at a given font and style.  I can't see how to do this
in ReportLab.  Ideally I would be able to render out just the text in
question to a bitmap surface of some kind, work with that, and once
everything is finalised generate the PDF.

Any help would be appreciated,

Regards.
