class Prawn::Text::Box

Generally, one would use the Prawn::Text#text_box convenience method. However, using ::new in conjunction with render(:dry_run=> true) enables one to do look-ahead calculations prior to placing text on the page, or to determine how much vertical space was consumed by the printed text
