Is there a way to calculate width of text?

[yanshay]

I would like to calculate the width of texts (without displaying them). And then call such a function from Rust to calculate positioning of elements based on text size.
I think I remember seeing a function to calculate dimensions of texts but can't find it in the docs. Is there such?

Perhaps fontMetrics is what you saw? https://docs.slint.dev/latest/docs/slint/reference/elements/text/#font-metrics

I'm aware of fontMetrics, it doesn't help to do what I need.
From your answer I understand then that my memory mislead me and there's no such function?
