Parameters

The x-coordinate where to draw the font.y System.Int32
The y-coordinate where to draw the font.color System.Drawing.Color
Color of the text. For more information, see Color
Return Value
System.Int32
If the function succeeds, the return value is the height of the text in logical units. If DrawTextFormat.Center or DrawTextFormat.Bottom is specified in the format parameter, the return value is the offset from rect.Top
Remarks
This method must be called from inside of a Device.BeginScene ... Device.EndScene block.
Unless the NoClip format is used, this method clips the text so that it does not appear outside of the specified rectangle. All formatting is assumed to have multiple lines unless the SingleLine format is specified.
If the selected font is too large for the rectangle, this method does not attempt to substitute a smaller font.
This method supports only fonts whose escapement and orientation are both zero.
