No I mean the vertical position, I want to write a number of string pairs
like this
pair1_a pair1_b
pair2_a pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b
pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b
pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b pair2_b
pair3_a pair3_b pair3_b pair3_b pair3_b pair3_b
pair3_b pair3_b pair3_b pair3_b
I can easily add the height when each of the pairs is one line only (pair1)
but if I have a string that is more than one line (most common case) it seems
sensible to use the string width to get the text formatted like in pair2_b
but when I want to write pair3 I need to know the vertical position. And I
can't figure out where I can get it after having used the string width.
I'm sure there is somewhere I can find this out (because otherwise I have to
write a duplicate of the formatting in drawstring just figure out the height
... and it seems silly) but I can't find it.
