Re: FDK: Comparing MetricT values

[Scott Prentice <sp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rick...

I think that all you need to do is to define 'pts' as a MetricT value 
and multiply 12 by 'pts'  ..

 #define pts (MetricT) 65536
 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*pts);


Or something like that.
