Something similar like getStrWidth but for height

[TiMESPLiNTER]

I'm looking for the equivalent function to getStrWidth but for the height that respects descending characters as well.

Let's say from a font the capital G-ascent from the baseline is 13px and the small g-ascent from the baseline is 8px and g-descent from the baseline is 2px.

• getStrHeight("gG"); should return 15
• getStrHeight("g"); should return 10
• getStringHeight("G"); should return 13

is there a function to achieve this? I couldn't find it in the library reference.

Sorry for my late reply, but the answer is not that easy. First: Such a function does not exist and indeed you are the first one requesting this.
I had a look into the code. I think it should be possible to implement such a function, but it will take time to do so. If you still need such a function, then we should create an issue from that discussion.

+1 for this
I found a way around it, but it would've been quite useful to have the feature
