How can I automatically scale Text[] to fit into a bounding rectangle of
a size that I specify?
For instance, I can get a pretty close result here, but it is not
perfect (the text doesn't touch the bottom edge of the rectangle), and
"36", {0,0}, and {-1,-1} are all numbers I had to find through trial and
error:
Graphics[{
FaceForm[], EdgeForm[Black],
Rectangle[{0, 0}, {100, 10}],
Text[Style["Hello", 36], {0, 0}, {-1, -1}]
}
]
Thanks,
Michael
