I'd like to measure the width of a hypothetical composable, and then use that to set other widths. Is there a good way to do that? My layout looks like: `Row { Text(t1) Canvas Text(t2) }`. I want to measure a hypothetical `Text(longestPossibleString)` and use that to set width of the two Texts, so that things are centered and don't move as t1 and t2 change.

You could probably use <https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/text/MultiParagraphIntrinsics|MultiParagraphIntrinsics> to measure your text

Mm. The docs for that say it calculates "width and height", but then it's only properties are `mix/maxIntrinsicWidth`. Where's the height?

Ah you said Row, so didn’t think you needed height. Take a look at the other classes in that package, might be something that gives you height 

Ah, right. I forgot and returned to this thread later with a different code situation. But you are correct, that package helps with both width and height. Eg, `Paragraph`.
