GetOutlineTextMetrics function
The GetOutlineTextMetrics function retrieves text metrics for TrueType fonts.
Syntax
UINT GetOutlineTextMetrics( _In_ HDC hdc, _In_ UINT cbData, _Out_opt_ LPOUTLINETEXTMETRIC lpOTM );
Parameters
- hdc [in]
-
A handle to the device context.
- cbData [in]
-
The size, in bytes, of the array that receives the text metrics.
- lpOTM [out, optional]
-
A pointer to an OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure. If this parameter is NULL, the function returns the size of the buffer required for the retrieved metric data.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero or the size of the required buffer.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.
Remarks
The OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure contains most of the text metric information provided for TrueType fonts (including a TEXTMETRIC structure). The sizes returned in OUTLINETEXTMETRIC are in logical units; they depend on the current mapping mode.
