FDK: Comparing MetricT values

["Rick Quatro" <frameexpert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Framers,

I need to get the Height of a text frame, add its LocY value to it, and then
subtract 12 points from it. For example,

  MetricT mTfHeight, mTfLocY, mOverflow;

  // Get the text frame height, y location and calculate the overflow
location.
  mTfHeight = F_ApiGetMetric(oDoc, oTextFrame, FP_Height);
  mTfLocY = F_ApiGetMetric(oDoc, oTextFrame, FP_LocY);
  mOverflow = (mTfHeight + mTfLocY) - 12;

I don't think this is correct. Do I have to somehow convert the MetricT
values before I can do math on them? If I do, then what data type do I need
to declare for mOverflow? Should this be a floating point number? Thanks in
advance.
