Calculate the display width of a string in Java
java, string-length
Solution
If you just want to use AWT, then use `Graphics.getFontMetrics` (optionally specifying the font, for a non-default one) to get a `FontMetrics` and then `FontMetrics.stringWidth` to find the width for the specified string.
For example, if you have a `Graphics` variable called `g`, you'd use:
int width = g.getFontMetrics().stringWidth(text);
For other toolkits, you'll need to give us more information - it's always going to be toolkit-dependent.
Problem
How to calculate the length (in pixels) of a string in Java? Preferable without using Swing. EDIT: I would like to draw the string using the drawString() in Java2D and use the length for word wrapping.
