Service internally responsible for handling the display of text.

Description¶

TextService is internally responsible for handling the display of text.

Inheritance¶

Object → Instance → TextService

Nova inheritance: Instance → TextService

Methods¶

GetTextSize Supported Function Computes the Vector2 dimensions (in pixels) that will be taken up with text when using the specified formatting parameters and size constraints.

TextService:GetTextSize(string string, int fontSize, Font font, Vector2 frameSize): Vector2

Computes the Vector2 dimensions (in pixels) that will be taken up with text when using the specified formatting parameters and size constraints.

This method is a useful alternative to the TextBounds property of the TextLabel/TextButton objects, since GetTextSize() can calculate the dimensions required by a particular text string in a TextLabel or TextButton before such an object is created or text property set.

This method is limited to fonts under Font. To access more fonts under Font, use GetTextBoundsAsync() instead.
