textSize(32) # Set initial text size
a = textDescent() * scalar # Calc ascent
line(0, base + a, width, base + a)
text("dp", 0, base) # Draw text on baseline
textSize(64) # Increase text size
a = textDescent() * scalar # Recalc ascent
line(40, base + a, width, base + a)
text("dp", 40, base) # Draw text on baseline
