Syntax

VOID vqt_f_extent( handle, str, pts )
WORD handle;
char *str;
WORD *pts;

Function      vqt_f_extent() returns the bounding box required to enclose
              the specified string of text.

Opcode        240

Availability  Available only with SpeedoGDOS.

Parameters    Same as vqt_extent().

Binding       WORD i = 0;

              while(intin[i++] = (WORD)*str++);

              contrl[0] = 240;
              contrl[1] = 0;
              contrl[3] = --i;
              contrl[6] = handle;

              vdi();

              pts[0] = ptsout[0];
              pts[1] = ptsout[1];
              pts[2] = ptsout[2];
              pts[3] = ptsout[3];
              pts[4] = ptsout[4];
              pts[5] = ptsout[5];
              pts[6] = ptsout[6];
              pts[7] = ptsout[7];

Comments      As opposed to vqt_extent(), vqt_f_extent() calculates the
              remainders generated by outline fonts therefore providing
              more accurate results.
