Measure a block

Returns the height a block takes at a given width, measured on the same kind of device [export_pdf()] uses.

Usage

measure_block(x, width)

Arguments

x

A block (or anything [as_block()] accepts).

width

Available width (`grid::unit` or inches).

Value

A `grid::unit` in inches. Flexible blocks (for example a plot without a fixed height) return `NA`.

Examples

measure_block(bb_text("A short paragraph."), width = 3)
#> [1] 0.125inches
