Measure the Width and Height of the Cell Value in Unit of Pixels with C++

Sometimes you need to calculate the width and height of cell value to fit the cell value inside the cell. Aspose.Cells provides Cell.GetWidthOfValue() and Cell.GetHeightOfValue() methods for this purpose. By using these methods you can calculate width and height of the cell value and then set the width of the column and height of the row of that cell respectively and this will then adjust or fit the cell value inside the cell.

Alternatively, you can also autofit rows and columns of your cell or range of cells using Aspose.Cells APIs.

The following code explains the use of Cell.GetWidthOfValue() and Cell.GetHeightOfValue() methods.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"
using namespace Aspose::Cells;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-C
    // Create workbook object
    Workbook workbook;

    // Access first worksheet
    Worksheet worksheet = workbook.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

    // Access cell B2 and add some value inside it
    Cell cell = worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"B2");
    cell.PutValue(u"Welcome to Aspose!");

    // Enlarge its font to size 16
    Style style = cell.GetStyle();
    style.GetFont().SetSize(16);
    cell.SetStyle(style);

    // Calculate the width and height of the cell value in unit of pixels
    int32_t widthOfValue = cell.GetWidthOfValue();
    int32_t heightOfValue = cell.GetHeightOfValue();

    // Print both values
    std::wcout << u"Width of Cell Value: " << widthOfValue << std::endl;
    std::wcout << u"Height of Cell Value: " << heightOfValue << std::endl;

    // Set the row height and column width to adjust/fit the cell value inside cell
    worksheet.GetCells().SetColumnWidthPixel(1, widthOfValue);
    worksheet.GetCells().SetRowHeightPixel(1, heightOfValue);

    // Save the output excel file
    U16String outFilePath = u"output_out.xlsx";
    workbook.Save(outFilePath);

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
}
