How to Calculate TextSize

Hello Devs!

I’m bad at GUIs but I want to learn how to Calculate the TextSize.
I want to achieve cool effect where the Text is hidding when it’s getting smaller at X axis.
There how it looks:

To do that I have to turn off the TextScaled and TextWrapped (TextScaled turns off after turning off TextWrapped).
When using other devices the Text is too big and I want to solve this by calculatix TextSize

I tried to find the solution but I only found something about Chat TextBound Calculation where we need to use TextService to get the TextSize.

use TextLabel.TextBounds

TextBounds Vector2
The read-only property TextBounds reflects the absolute size of rendered text in offsets. In other words, if you were to try to fit text into a rectangle, this property would reflect the minimum dimensions of the rectangle you would need in order to fit the text.

You could also try doing something with a parent frame that has ClipsDescendants turned on or something

Maybe I’m stupid, but it still give me no idea how to calculate it.

Edit:
Okay I found the solution.
I have to divide the AbsoluteSize of TextLabel or TextButton by the TextBounds.
So it would look like this:

local TextLabel = -- Your Path to your TextLabel or TextButton
local TextSize = TextLabel.TextSize
local TextBoundsX = TextLabel.TextBounds.X
local TextBoundsY = TextLabel.TextBounds.Y
local TextLabelSizeX = TextLabel.AbsoluteSize.X
local TextLabelSizeY = TextLabel.AbsoluteSize.Y

local XScale = TextLabelSizeX / TextBoundsX
local YScale = TextLabelSizeY / TextBoundsY

local MinScale = math.min(XScale, YScale)

TextSize *= MinScale

For me it works perfectly.
