The width of the text’s bounding box.

## Discussion

Supply a positive value for this property in stage linear units. For more information, see [Encoding Stage Linear Units](https://openusd.org/docs/api/group___usd_geom_linear_units__group.html).

The runtime ignores this value if [wrapMode](/documentation/USD/wrapmode) is `singleLine`.

### Declaration

```other
float width
