Calculate text height

[shodson]

I have an indicator that draws an upper and lower bound of a range of prices over a certain period of time. I also use DrawText() to display the price level just above the high and below the low. Depending on the size of the chart the text sometimes overlaps into the text. I'd like to offset the Y position of my text so that the value above the high is above the line and the value of the range low is below the low line, but I need to know how high my text is. How can I compute such an offset?
