	There are a couple of helper functions in QuickPDF you can use to determine the height or # of wrapped lines, then you can do the math to get the next y position. GetWrappedTextHeight() GetWrappedTextLineCount()

	I want to format a receipt for printing. I can see from the docs that there are functions to draw wrapped text which can be left or right justified which is great. However, these functions all need a starting x and y position. My question is, how do I determine the correct y position to use for each line of text? Also, it's possible that the left text column will wrap - the right text column must always have a y position that corresponds to the first line of the corresponding block of left text column. Line 1 which $12.20 has wrapped Line 2 $10.20 Line 3 $23.34
