Graphics DrawString() clipping text off while rectangle still have more room

Question

I have something like this:

There are 3 rectangles of the same size width 60px each.

...
var font = new Font("Arial", 9, FontStyle.Bold);
var format = new StringFormat() {FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.LineLimit} 
...
g.DrawString(content, font, brush, rect, format);

(Note: I put borders around text and a red line cutting before 'A's to make it easy to see the boundaries)

I realise the DrawString() is trimming off my 'M' of 10 & 11 AM. However, if you examine how the red line cuts off the 'A's, you see the first row of 'A' from 9:00 AM seats a couple pixels further away than the 2 A's below it, but AM didn't get trimmed off.

That means, actually the rectangles DO still have enough space to fit the 'M' in, we can tell from the red line, but DrawString() choose to clip it off instead, why? How to fix it?

Answer 1

Hope, setting format = new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.LineLimit | StringFormatFlags.NoWrap, 1003) { Trimming = StringTrimming.None })

RectangleF rec = new RectangleF();
rec.X = 100;
rec.Y= 100;
rec.Width = 100;
rec.Height = 20;
e.Graphics.DrawRectangles(Pens.Black, new RectangleF[] { rec });
e.Graphics.DrawString("12345678901234", new Font("Arial", 9, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Red, rec, 
new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.LineLimit | StringFormatFlags.NoWrap, 1003) { Trimming = StringTrimming.None });

Here's the output with new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.LineLimit, 1003)

and here's the correct output with new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.LineLimit | StringFormatFlags.NoWrap, 1003) { Trimming = StringTrimming.None })

will make a difference in your case.
