Greetings, Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can either, a) map text on a grid (what i imagine is a Cartesian system where each character has a (x,y) coordinate, or b) if a grid is not possible, somehow measure text for i)location of a character, difference (delta) between one text location and another x2-x1 horizontal or difference between one text location and another vertically y2-y1? I am on a PC and would require a suggested programming method or program suggestion (is there a PC based text program with this feature that anyone knows of)? Thanks so much in advance, c~tea
A:
Thanks Charlie, you have asked my question more clearly than I. That is exactly what I am looking to do, determine the coordinate of any given character in any given text. I would standardize the font, size, margins and or text width, and line height and spacing. I envision a grid and or a mouse over to give the coordinate. I do not have any idea how to do this, although. Thoughts? Thanks in advance,
You should edit your question to put this in or put it in a answer. Or people will miss it if the answer starts to come in and this answer moves down. And this is not really an answer anyway
