[TYPO3] maxWidth and multi-line text in GIFBUILDER

[Rens Admiraal]

Hi all,

I've created an image with GIFBUILDER which contains multiple lines  
of text. I used http://www.typo3wizard.com/en/snippets/gifbuilder/ 
multiple-line-text-with-gifbuilder.html as example.

The image may contain 3 lines of text, but I don't want text to 'fall  
of' the image, so, if the text is to long, the fontsize must be set  
to a smaller size. I tried to accomplish this by setting the maxWidth  
property, but this applies to all lines individual. So, the first 2  
lines have a small font, and the third line is a normal size.

I thought I could solve this by calculating how long the entire text  
is with a userfunction, and return the fontsize that should be used,  
but somehow this doesn't work.


I have the following typoscript:

temp.fontsize = USER
temp.fontsize.userFunc = tx_quote_pi1->fontsize

temp.quote.file.10.text.fontSize < temp.fontsize


When I set a fixed value (like below) it does work.

temp.fontsize = 9
temp.quote.file.10.text.fontSize < temp.fontsize


The return value of the function is a pos int, and is correct. Also  
clearing the cache and so on has no result.



I really hope there is someone who has an answer.

Greetz,
Rens
