dimension of the applet

[tzzdvd]

Hi

Is it possible (and how) to dimension an applet in function of the text written in it?

For example: I want to write "Hello World!" in font "Times new Romans" size=12. I want that the applet can resize itself to the minimum dimension in which can be written "Hello World!"

Thank's for all

Davide

The only thing I can think of is to use asp,jsp,php,etc. to dynamically specify the applet size during page creation. However, this assumes that the html "knows" how big the applet should be.

That is the problem!!!!!
HTML doesn't know the dimension (heigth and width) of the applet!!!! Ant its dimension can change run-time.
But, reading your post, I think what I want to do is impossible.

Thank's

Depending on what kind of "Frame" your applet is operating in, you might be able to call the pack() method for the layout manager.
