hello all,
i have got a doubt. Can any one help me
how to catch the length of a string in pixel.
For example i want to draw an image after printing
a string like this
"HEllo how are you" <Image>
"Hai fine how about you are you ok" <Image>
Can any one tell me a general approach for this
Thanx in advance

You can use the FontMetrics class to get the length of a string in pixels. You can do this by the following:
FontMetrics metrics = aWindow.getFontMetrics(); // aWindow is a frame
int stringLength = metrics.stringLength( myString );

Ok, here's a version that should work with applets.
Graphics g = getGraphics();
FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
int length = fm.stringLength(myString);
