I know this is a bit weird question but i actually came to a situation where i would need this. So I appreciate the patience if someone knows the answer =)

From these parameteres:

int fontFace, 
double fontScale
int fontThickness 
int fontLineType

Is it possible to calculate the width of a character in pixels?

Note 1: If the font is not of fixed width, one can assume it is the letter 'a' or do any other assumption.

Note 2:The idea is not to have some image processing doing this, the idea is just to do some math with the putText() parameters.

You can refer to my following code.

string text("Any Text You Want To Put!!!");
int baseline=0;
Size text_size = getTextSize(text,FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX,0.75,2,&baseline);
Point text_pos(1,image.rows-text_size.height);
Rect text_rect(text_pos.x,text_pos.y-text_size.height-baseline,text_size.width,text_size.height*2);
rectangle(image,text_rect,CV_RGB(0,0,0),CV_FILLED);
putText(image, text, text_pos, FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX, 0.75, CV_RGB(255,255,255),2,8);
