Can an Enum be used to provide two values? - c#-4.0

For drawing filled shapes like Rectangle, Eclipse need two values width and height (converted from int to float).
There's an enum,
Public enum Sizes : int
{
One=5,
Two=10,
Five=10,
Seven=12,
Ten=15,
}
In terms of drawing a Square of One, should be of width and height of 5. Which is straight forward. However when drawing Oval Shapes and Rectangular shapes above one value isn't sufficient.
Is there a way I could define another float value? So when compared for Ten, it can provide 15 for Width and 10 for Height...
Or does it mean, there should be two enums, one for Width and one for Height?
EDIT to provide more background info:
There's an UI which allows users to create certain shapes.
User inputs are: Shape Type (Line, Rectangle, Eclipse), Points, Size (but this size doesn't exactly reflect the size of the shape. e.g. 10 is a capacity. Capacity 10 must draw 15px Width and 10px height Rectangle/Eclipse).
Line doesn't take Size into account as it is drawn using the Points input. The rest of the shapes do take Size into account. So this is where I need to check the Size(capacity) parameter and issue the correct Width and Height to be drawn.

Algorithm for resize multi selected elements on the canvas

I have shapes with integer coordinates of width and height. They can be selected and stretched separately, I want to add the function of stretching a group of selected shapes. For example, as in the Figma editor or in VS Studio on a visual canvas, when we select a set of shapes and stretch them and they stretch proportionally with integer coordinates of width and height. Can you tell me how it works? For example, I have a list of 5 shapes with a width and height of 10px, indents from each other in 1px, I have selected them and pull them along the X axis in the positive direction by 8 pixels, which algorithm do I need to use? Here is an example of how it looks in VS when stretching buttons on the canvas.

Is there a relation between a typography's character width and character height

I encounter a problem when i use python-pptx, i need to put a line of text to a fixed width textbox and keep it in one line, so i have to calculate the proper font size manually.
The problem is that the font size is determined by character's height, not its width, and i have not found out the relation between its height and width. Can anyone help me out?
The width of a string in pixels will be approximately some value depending on the text, multiplied by the font size. Approximately, because there may be jumps. A 12 point font might have the exact same width as 11 point, and 13 point might be wider. You might be able to choose 12.4 points which depending on the implementation might be wider or not wider than 12.3 or 12 point.
I suggest that you start by making a wild guess about the best font size based on the length. Sure, WWWWW is a lot wider than iiiii, but for average text it works. You measure the width, then you make a better guess for the best font size.

Is there a simple algorithm that can find the envelope of several circles?

Given a number of points on a 2d surface and radiuses for these points I can easily paint circles for them. What I need is an algorithm that only paints the envelope (right word for what I am looking for?) or outer bound of these combined circles. Additionally a second set of circles can 'encroach' on these circles, resulting in a kind of 'border'.
Image of what I am looking for
A quick way to draw the outline of the union of the disks is to
fill all disks in yellow, then
fill all disks in white with a smaller radius.
This can be adapted to the "encroached" circles, provided you only fill the remaining portions of the disks. Unfortunately, in a general setting finding the remaining portions can be an uneasy geometric problem.
There is an alternative approach which can work in all cases:
fill an image with zeroes, then for all disks fill every pixel with the value of the distance to the circumference (maximum at the center), but only keep the highest value so far.
while you do this, fill a second image with the color of the disk that achieved that highest value. (Initialize the image with the background color.)
At the end of this process, the first image will represent a "terrain" made of intersecting cones; and for every point of the terrain, you will know the color.
finally, color the pixels that have a height smaller than the desired stroke width, using the color map.
You can do the drawing in two steps.
1) Draw the outline using the following method: For each point, draw a circle using your favorite circle-drawing method, but before drawing a pixel, ensure that it is not contained inside any other circle. Do this for every point and you will get your outline.
2) Draw the borders between different sets using the following method: For each pair of points from different sets, calculate the two intersection points of the circles. If there is an intersection, the border can be drawn as a segment joining these two points. However, you have to make two lines, one for circle A, and another for circle B. To draw the line for circle A, slightly offset the segment towards point A. Then, use your favorite line-drawing method, but before drawing a pixel, ensure that it is closer to point A that any other point of the opposite set. After drawing the line, repeat the process for circle B. Note that both segment are not guaranteed to be the same length since the asymmetry of the points of the different sets. It will, however, always form a closed shape when all outlines and borders are drawn.

Matlab: calculate pixel size of a string in label

I'm creating a panel in which dynamic strings are shown. I want to resize automatically the panel in order to avoid to see truncated strings (that are not hard coded so I can't know dimensions in advance).
So, given a string, the font weight, name and size, is possible to calculate the bounding box dimension in pixels, so I an use these data to recalculate dimensions of my panel?

Text in Ellipses JavaFX

I created a custom venn chart for two sets an their intersection in JavaFX.
Now I want to show the number of elements in this sets like in the following picture:
The sets are ellipses and I used masks to give the intersection a different color.
Now I want to show the number with size and position related to the available space so that the numbers are always inside the according area.
The width for the text element is easy to calculate, but I don't know how to get available height for the text elements.
Maybe it could be helpful to have the pixels of the ellipses as path, but I have no idea to how I can get this.
Does anyone know how to implement that?
Edit:
I developed an algorithm to find the size of a rectangle, which fits in the required areas of the ellipses. The text are scaled to the size of the rectangle and it works, but now I have another problem.
I need to center the scaled text in the rectangle an I used a StackPane for that. But I can't position the StackPane in the chart parent. If I set the layoutX and layoutY the bounds in parent are different.
For example: stackPane with text = sp;
sp.setLayoutY(122.1662320906945);
The Result for getBoundsInParent().getMinY() is 97.16622924804688;
How can I set the StackPane position, if I use it in a chart class as chart children?
