Measure graphics text.

Package: graphics.text | Status: source-declared

Tags: cpu, function, graphics, graphics.text, source-example, text, yeho

Shape, measure, and represent text and glyph resources.

```yh
external MeasureGraphicsText(graphicsTextMeasureRequest request) returns graphicsTextMeasureResult
```


## Use MeasureGraphicsText

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using graphics.text

// Shape, measure, and represent text and glyph resources.
graphicsTextMeasureRequest request = graphicsTextMeasureRequest(graphicsTextRun("value", "style Ref", "overflow", "alignment"), "font Family Token", "font Size Token", "weight", "line Height Token", 1)
graphicsTextMeasureResult result = MeasureGraphicsText(request)
Console.Log("Inspect result in your debugger")

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.graphics_text__measuregraphicstext"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "graphics.text"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/graphics/text"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/graphics.text--MeasureGraphicsText/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
