# TextDrawTextSize

## Description

Change the size of a textdraw (box if [TextDrawUseBox](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawUseBox) is enabled and/or clickable area for use with [TextDrawSetSelectable](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawSetSelectable)).

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Text:textid | The TextDraw to set the size of. |
| Float:width | The size on the X axis (left/right) following the same 640x480 grid as TextDrawCreate. |
| Float:height | The size on the Y axis (up/down) following the same 640x480 grid as TextDrawCreate. |

## Returns

This function does not return any specific values.

## Examples

```c
new Text:gMyTextdraw;

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    gMyTextdraw = TextDrawCreate(100.0, 33.0, "Example TextDraw");
    TextDrawTextSize(gMyTextdraw, 2.0, 3.6);
    return 1;
}
```

## Notes

note

-   The x and y have different meanings with different TextDrawAlignment values: 1 (left): they are the right-most corner of the box, absolute coordinates. 2 (center): they need to inverted (switch the two) and the x value is the overall width of the box. 3 (right): the x and y are the coordinates of the left-most corner of the box
-   Using font type 4 (sprite) and 5 (model preview) converts X and Y of this function from corner coordinates to WIDTH and HEIGHT (offsets).
-   The TextDraw box starts 10.0 units up and 5.0 to the left as the origin (TextDrawCreate coordinate).
-   This function defines the clickable area for use with TextDrawSetSelectable, whether a box is shown or not.

tip

If you want to change the text size of a textdraw that is already shown, you don't have to recreate it. Simply use [TextDrawShowForPlayer](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawShowForPlayer)/[TextDrawShowForAll](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawShowForAll) after modifying the textdraw and the change will be visible.
