awesome! This is perfect! Thank you. Question: I need to set the length of the rect. For this I need to measure the width of my text string. I normally used this:

my $width = $text-> advancewidth( $string );
[download]

Can you point me to how to measure the width of the text of inside the rect?

Solved. Using `my $width = $text-> advancewidth( $string );` [download] but remembering to use the same font in $text and $annotation works fine!	[reply] [d/l]
