.. _class_TextLine_method_get_size:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **get_size** **(** **)** |const|

Returns size of the bounding box of the text.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

.. _class_TextLine_method_hit_test:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`int<class_int>` **hit_test** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` coords **)** |const|

Returns caret character offset at the specified pixel offset at the baseline. This function always returns a valid position.

.. _class_TextLine_method_set_bidi_override:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **set_bidi_override** **(** :ref:`Array<class_Array>` override **)**

Overrides BiDi for the structured text.

Override ranges should cover full source text without overlaps. BiDi algorithm will be used on each range separately.
