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

Returns size of the bounding box of the text.

----

.. _class_TextLine_method_hit_test:

- :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_resize_object:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **resize_object** **(** :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` key, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` size, :ref:`InlineAlignment<enum_@GlobalScope_InlineAlignment>` inline_align=5 **)**

Sets new size and alignment of embedded object.

----

.. _class_TextLine_method_set_bidi_override:

- 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.

----

.. _class_TextLine_method_tab_align:

- void **tab_align** **(** :ref:`PackedFloat32Array<class_PackedFloat32Array>` tab_stops **)**

Aligns text to the given tab-stops.
