pdf_setmatrix

Name

pdf_setmatrix — Explicitly set the current transformation matrix.

Synopsis

bool pdf_setmatrix(pdf, a, b, c, d, e, f); resource pdf: PDF object identifier double a: Matrix value double b: Matrix value double c: Matrix value double d: Matrix value double e: Matrix value double f: Matrix value

Returns

Always TRUE

Description

This is a slightly more low-level version of other the transformation functions including pdf_scale() , pdf_rotate() , and pdf_translate() . The exception however, is that the transformation matrix is reset each time rather than remainiing and affecting other objects.

When applying several transformations, it is always a good idea to specify them in the correct order so the results are more predictable. The best way to do multiple translations is to first translate, then rotate and finaly scale and skew.

In pdf_setmatrix() , the transformation matrix is specified by six parameters, combinations of which affect the amount of translation that occurs. Different pairs of numbers cause each trnasformation. Translations are specified as

translate	pdf_setmatrix($pdf, 1, 0, 0, 1, tx, ty)()	`tx` and `ty` specify the translation in the x and y axes
scale	pdf_setmatrix($pdf, sx, 0, 0, sy, 0, 0)()	`sx` and `sy` specify the scaling in the x and y directions
rotate	pdf_setmatrix($pdf, cosa, sina, -sina, cosa, 0, 0)()	Rotate the coordinate system by an angle `a` counterclockwise
skew	pdf_setmatrix($pdf, 1, tana, tanb, 1, 0, 0)()	Skews the x axis by an angle `a` and the y axis by angle `b`

Version

Since version 4.0.5

Example

Example 979. Show each transformation

<?php

// create new document
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf);
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 500, 700);

$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Courier", "host", 0);
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 50);

// display as normal
pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, 10, 10);
pdf_show($pdf, "Norm");

// translate
pdf_setmatrix($pdf, 1, 0, 0, 1, 100, 100);
pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, 10, 10);
pdf_show($pdf, "Trans");

// rotate
pdf_setmatrix($pdf, 0.7, 0.7, -0.7, 0.7, 0, 0);
pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, 150, 50);
pdf_show($pdf, "Rotate");

// scale
pdf_setmatrix($pdf, 2, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0);
pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, 75, 75);
pdf_show($pdf, "Scale");

// skew
pdf_setmatrix($pdf, 1, 0.58, 0.58, 1, 0, 0);
pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, 130, 130);
pdf_show($pdf, "Skew");

pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
    
// output document
$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=test.pdf");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($data));
echo $data;
