GetTextDimensions() For Finding ColdFusion Image Text Dimensions

	<!--- Define arguments. --->

	<!--- Define the local scope. --->
	<cfset var LOCAL = {} />

	<!---
		Create an canvas to work with. We won't actually need
		to draw on this, we just need it to get access to some
		of the default values that ColdFusion uses plus we can
		get access to some of the utility methods.
	--->
	<cfset LOCAL.Image = ImageNew( "", 1, 1, "rgb" ) />

	<!---
		From our temporary ColdFusion image, get the underlying
		Java AWT object. This will allow us access to properties
		that we will need to space and style the font.
	--->
	<cfset LOCAL.Graphics = ImageGetBufferedImage( LOCAL.Image )
		.GetGraphics()
		/>

	<!---
		Get the font that is currently set in the image. From
		this, we will be able to default the properties of our
		text attributes (any that were not set explicitly).
	--->
	<cfset LOCAL.CurrentFont = LOCAL.Graphics.GetFont() />


	<!---
		Now, we are going to check to see if the passed in
		font properties has all the properties that we need to
		properly render the new font. If it does not, then we
		are going to use the ColdFusion default values that are
		supplied with our temporary canvas.

	<!--- Check for a defined size.--->
	<cfif NOT StructKeyExists( ARGUMENTS.FontProperties, "Size" )>

		<!--- Get size from current font. --->
		<cfset ARGUMENTS.FontProperties.Size = LOCAL.CurrentFont.GetSize() />

	</cfif>


	<!--- Check for a defined font. --->

		<!--- Get font name from current font. --->

	</cfif>


	<!--- Check for a defined style. --->
	<cfif NOT StructKeyExists( ARGUMENTS.FontProperties, "Style" )>

		<!---
			When it comes to defaulting the style, we need to
			build not only the font attributes, but also the
			font style argument for creating our new font (for
			the Font Metrics). Because of that, we will be
			building a bit-mask for the style.

			Because the Styles are just constants, we can pull
			them out of our Current Font object.

				LOCAL.CurrentFont.ITALIC
				) />

			<!--- Set the style. --->
			<cfset ARGUMENTS.FontProperties.Style = "bold" />

			<!--- Set the bit mask. --->
			<cfset LOCAL.FontStyleMask = LOCAL.CurrentFont.BOLD />

		<cfelseif LOCAL.CurrentFont.IsItalic()>

			<!--- Set the style. --->
			<cfset ARGUMENTS.FontProperties.Style = "italic" />

			<!--- Set the bit mask. --->

	<cfelse>

		<!--- Set the plain font mask. --->

	</cfif>


	<!---
		ASSERT: At this point, we have fully set up our font
		properties struct (filling in any gaps that the user
		missed), as well as create a style bit-mask based on
		those properties. We now have enough information to
		create a new Java Font object.
	--->


	<!---
		Now that we have our Font attributes all paramed, we
		need to create a new Font object (that will be used to
		get the Font Metrics for the passed-in text).
	--->
	<cfset LOCAL.NewFont = CreateObject(
		"java",
		"java.awt.Font"
		).Init(
			JavaCast( "string", ARGUMENTS.FontProperties.Font ),
			JavaCast( "int", LOCAL.FontStyleMask ),
			JavaCast( "int", ARGUMENTS.FontProperties.Size )

	<cfset LOCAL.Return = {
		Width = Ceiling( LOCAL.TextBounds.GetWidth() ),
		Height = Ceiling( LOCAL.TextBounds.GetHeight() )

	<!--- Return text dimensions. --->
