the vertical measurement of the text.
Answers
Explanation:
Vertical and Horizontal Spacing
Text can be positioned in different ways within a text box to give different vertical and horizontal treatments and presentations.
Text can be set to align with either the top, bottom or centre of a text block, and in extreme examples it will be justified, that is to say it will align with both the top and the bottom of the text block (shown above). Secondly, additional spacing can be added between lines, called leading, that will produce different 'setting' as shown below.
Answer:
The measurements currently displayed reference the bounding box, so the measurements can at best be made to display the distance between a text baseline and the top of the bounding box below. Bounding boxes and text alignment can be adjusted to always ensure text aligns to a baseline grid, but you still need to manually gauge or calculate the distance between the baseline of one text style to another.
Is this distance between bounding boxes a useful measurement to ensure accurate distance and alignment of text to a baseline grid from the perspective of a developer? Whilst the design may be accurate, will the measurements and styling displayed to the developer translate to accuracy in development?
If it is possible to change the measurement reference point, how is it done?
If it isn't possible, how do you suggest I handle this?
