John, I did something that was inspired by Barney Boisvert. An image function that draws text areas rather than just a line of text:

Take a look at the innards. ......................

For example. Lets say that I have an image that is 50 pixels high and 400 pixels wide and I write some text on the image starting at the first pixel and the text only takes a width of 212 pixels. How can I tell that the text only took up 212 pixels? I am looking for something like the getdimensions() method from cfx_imageflare http://efflare.com/products/cfx_imageflare/documentation/font.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:296665 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
