Re: Generating bitmaps of alpha characters

I'm not sure what you have in mind. Do you want each
character to have
the same scale and you want to make sure you have enough
room for the
largest one or do you really want each character to be as
large as
possible within a given space? In any case, you might
find the Extent
property of the text object to be helpful:

t = text(0,0,'Q',...);
get(t,'Extent')

Thanks for your suggestion. I checked into Extent and is
read-only, so I'm not sure how to use it? Ideally, I'd like
each character to be the same scale, and have a fixed figure
size that accommodates the largest character (capital Q, I
think). What I am after is set of bitmaps of the alphabet
that I can use to train a neural net -- with the ability to
vary the font.
