Question

Is there any way to find out how big a string will be on screen.

I want to know how large I have to create my rect for GUILayout.BeginArea();

Thanks, stringa

You'll want to use this:

var textDimensions = GUI.skin.label.CalcSize(new GUIContent("text"));

And textDimensions.x will give you your text width.
