[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: Figure truncation when printing on Mac

[aboyko@xxxxxxxxxx (Alex Boyko)]

Hi,

The shape is probably sized to fit the text (TextFlow) inside. Layout asks 
the GC to calculate the size of the string given a font. If the size of 
the string is incorrect, the text may get truncated. See if 
GC#stringExtents(...) returns the same size of the text as when the text 
is painted. If not, you may want to call GC#setAdvanced(false). Layout 
uses an off-screen GC to determine the size of the text in draw2d. If 
off-screen GC is set up differently from the actual GC during painting 
then text might be cut off as well.

Cheers,
Alex
