Re: [Repast-developer] TextDisplay height/width

[Nick C. <nic...@ve...>]

I'm not absolutely sure I understand your question, but getSize()
returns the size of the display window itself, not the actual visible
box around the text you are displaying. The size of the display is used
to coordinate with the DisplaySurface and other displays, I think.
getSize() fulfills part of the requirements of the Displayable
interface. In the case, of TextDisplay, getSize() doesn't make as much
sense as it does in the case of a grid display, but it needs be there.
