cpdf_text

Name

cpdf_text — Output text

Synopsis

bool cpdf_text(pdfdoc, text[, x], y[, mode][, orientation][, alignmode]);
resource pdfdoc: PDF document identifier
string text: Text to display
double x (optional): X coordinate
double y: Y coordinate
int mode (optional): Units mode
double orientation (optional): Text orientation
int alignmode (optional): Text alignment

Returns

TRUE on success or FALSE on error

Description

Outputs text specified by text and the coordinates x and y . The x and y coordinates start from 0,0 at the bottom left of the page.

If the option unit length paramter mode is set to 0 or omitted the default unit as specified for the page is used, otherrwise the coordinates are measured in PostScript points disregarding the current unit of unit of measurement. The example shows a better explanation of this.

orientation sets the angle of rotation in degrees of the text in a counter clockwise direction.

alignmode determines the text alignment when displayed and can be any of the following constants.

0 Lower left
1 Lower middle
2 Lower right
3 Middle left
4 Middle middle
5 Middle right
6 Upper left
7 Upper middle
8 Upper right


Version

Since versions 3.0.8 and 4.0
