[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]

Returns the total sum of all advance values from rendering all characters within the given text element.

Scalable Vector Graphics: Text, Section 10.17.1Internet Explorer 9

Syntax

float retVal = object.getComputedTextLength();

Standards information

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Remarks

The return value of the getComputedTextLength method enables Windows Internet Explorer to make reasonable assumptions about the glyph metrics for non-rendering processes.

The total text advance distance includes the advance values on the glyphs (horizontal or vertical), kerning effects, letter-spacing effects, word-spacing effects, and adjustments because of the dx and dy attributes on SVGTSpanElement elements.
