SVG positioning relative to the end of text - svg

I'm dynamically generating SVG to display data in a webpage. If I have a <text> section without a defined width, it will display the text in one line. Is it possible to position a path at the end of that line? Since the text is dynamically generated, I don't know its width in advance.

Why four different font size values for one single SVG text element?

I created a SVG file using InkScape 1.0.1. My SVG contains one text element. In InkScape, I have the "Text and Font" dialogue open.
I select my text element, the Text and Font dialogue then shows the font size as 38.1. I double-click on my text (as if I was to edit the text), the Text and Font dialogue now shows the font size as 36, which is the value I choose when I created that text element.
When I open the SVG file in Notepad it contains the following:
...
<text xml:space="preserve" style="font-size:50.8px; ... <tspan style="font-size:48px; ... </tspan></text>
...
(I've replaced irrelevant code with "...")
So, what is my font-size really -- is it 38.1(px?), 36(px?), 50.8px or 48px, and why are there more than one value?
Notes:
I've assumed that the Text and Font dialogue displays the font size in pixels, but no unit is actually displayed in that dialogue.
I notice that the ratio 50.8/48 is the same as the ratio 38.1/36.
I also noticed that the ratio 48/36 is 4/3.
The width and height of my viewBox is the same as the width and height of the SVG view port (as specified in the SVG root element).
I have no nested SVG elements.
Thanks!
The Text+Font editor uses pt as a unit (see tooltip).
There is an outer style and an inner style on your text, and they differ, for whatever reason. The inner style is what counts for the selected part of the text.

Custom Text tabs width/height

I am using Docusign REST API to place custom text tabs in the document. But the tabs are getting placed with a default width and height. Is there a way to control the width and height?
Yes, the width and height parameters will allow you to resize a text tab.
If you want to change the size of a SignHere or Initial tab, scaleValue can be used instead.

Reportlab - Truncating text after specific width while writing on canvas

I am working on a project which has a PDF editor that we have built in angular. User can drag and drop dynamic fields (user defined fields) on the PDF. These fields when are filled from a user define form, the corresponding PDF (that user has edited) gets generated in the backend. We are using Python 3.7 and Reportlab to edit and write dynamic data to the PDF.
The length of the value dynamic fields is not fixed. It can be more than the field variable's length. On PDF editor, the user decides max width of the generated dynamic text. We want to write the text till the specified width only and truncate rest of the text. For example, first_name is the variable dropped on the PDF editor. It's max width is set to 10px. If the value of the variable is "Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff", the text should be written till 10 px and should get truncated after that.
So far, we have managed to write the full text (irrespective of width specified). Following is the code that we are using.
........
paragraph_style.textColor = HexColor(pdf_element["font_color"])
paragraph_style.fontSize = pdf_element["font_size"]
paragraph = Paragraph(str(output_text_value), style=paragraph_style)
paragraph.drawOn(can,location_x, location_y)
........
Above code writes full text on the PDF. However, we need a way to somehow truncate the text after specified width.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Instead of directly drawing paragraph on the canvas, use frame. Add the paragraph inside frame, Apply truncate mode to the frame and then draw frame on canvas. Your code should look like following:
frame = KeepInFrame(min_width, min_height, [paragraph], mode='truncate')
frame.width = float(min_.replace("px",""))
frame.drawOn(can, location_x, location_y)
Hope it helps. Thanks

How to make a vaadin combobox overlay wider than container element?

I have a vaadin-combobox inside a slim grid cell/column, when I open the combobox the contents is restricted horizontally to the space in the cell and I can't see the values. Vertically it overlaps correctly. I have been searching for some CSS to make the overlay of values wider like you do with a normal HTML picklist but I couldn't find it.
Thanks for any pointers.

How to make Label's text centered vertically?

I tried one by one each of these methods : setting the BgAlign property to CENTER in the Resource Editor , myLabel.getStyle().setBackgroundAlignment(Style.BACKGROUND_IMAGE_ALIGN_CENTER); but the text of the Label is not centered vertically.
So how to make Label's text centered vertically ?
The following image shows the actual alignement of the Label's text :
Label vertical alignment is unsupported only its positioning in relation to an icon.
As far as I recall you are using FlowLayout for every entry which does support vertical alignment see FlowLayout.setValign(Component.CENTER).
