System.Windows.Forms 2.0.0.0 System.Object The class provides a set of static methods that can be used for measuring and drawing text on a Windows Form control. You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the overloads that takes a parameter. For example, the default behavior of the is to add padding to the bounding rectangle of the drawn text to accommodate overhanging glyphs. If you need to draw a line of text without these extra spaces you should use the versions of and that take a and parameter. For an example, see . The methods of are not supported for printing. You should always use the methods of the class.
