stream-string-size

Arguments: stream string &optional start end

Use of this function is deprecated. Use stream-string-width instead.

Creates and returns a position object whose position-x is the value returned by stream-string-width (indicating the width in pixels of string when printed in stream) and whose position-y is 0. The size of a substring of string specified by start and end is determined if those arguments are supplied.

stream should be a cg-stream.

Because this function returns the same information as stream-string-width, use of this function is not recommended.

The result is not meaningful if string contains newlines.

nstream-string-size is the destructive version of this function.
