how to measure text width in kineticjs?

Question

Is there a method or workaround to return the text width of a string in a Text Shape, in KineticJs?

I would need it to position precisely the TextShape on the canvas.

Answer 1

This might help you. It demonstrates how to get the width of some text. There is also a link to another example showing how to do this for multi-line text, here.

Kinetic.Text has getTextHeight() and getTextWidht() methods to do this for you.
