Computes the tight bounding box for a block of text.
The textBounds() function calculates the precise pixel boundaries that enclose the rendered text based on the current text properties (such as font, textSize, textStyle, and alignment). If the text spans multiple lines (due to line breaks or wrapping), the function measures each line individually and then aggregates these measurements into a single bounding box. The resulting object contains the x and y coordinates along with the width (w) and height (h) of the text block.
Examples
Syntax
textBounds(str, x, y, [width], [height])
Parameters
