getBounds method

@override GRect getBounds(GDisplayObject? targetSpace, [ GRect? out ])

Returns the bounds of the text in the target coordinate space.

The targetSpace parameter determines the coordinate space of the returned bounds object. You can use this parameter to get the bounds of the text relative to any display object.

If the targetSpace parameter is not passed, the method returns the bounds of the text in its local coordinate space.

By default, the bounds object returned by this method contains the text's dimensions.

If the method is called with an existing out parameter, the returned value will be the same as the out parameter. This is useful when you want to avoid creating a new bounds GRect object.

Implementation

@override
GRect getBounds(GDisplayObject? targetSpace, [GRect? out]) {
  validate();
  out ??= GRect();
  out.setTo(0, 0, intrinsicWidth, textHeight);
  if (targetSpace == this) {
    /// optimization.
    return out;
  }
  final matrix = _sHelperMatrix;
  matrix.identity();
  getTransformationMatrix(targetSpace, matrix);
  MatrixUtils.getTransformedBoundsRect(matrix, out, out);
  return out;
}
