Remarks

Unlike the GetStringSizePixels method, this method accounts for the Orientation property of the given LabelStyle object, which affects how high or wide a label will be.

For example, a string+font measured at 50x100 pixels (HxW), but oriented vertically, would yield a SizeF of 100x50 using this method.
