ps_set_text_pos

Sets position for text output

Description

bool ps_set_text_pos ( resource $psdoc , float $x , float $y )

Set the position for the next text output. You may alternatively set the x and y value separately by calling ps_set_value and choosing textx respectively texty as the value name.

If you want to output text at a certain position it is more convenient to use ps_show_xy instead of setting the text position and calling ps_show.

Parameters

psdoc

Resource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new.

x

x-coordinate of the new text position.

y

y-coordinate of the new text position.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example #1 Placing text at a given position

<?php
$ps 
ps_new();
if (!
ps_open_file($ps"text.ps")) {
  print 
"Cannot open PostScript file\n";
  exit;
}

ps_set_info($ps"Creator""rectangle.php");
ps_set_info($ps"Author""Uwe Steinmann");
ps_set_info($ps"Title""Text placement example");

ps_begin_page($ps596842);
$psfont ps_findfont($ps"Helvetica"""0);
ps_setfont($ps$psfont8.0);
ps_show_xy($ps"Some text at (100, 100)"100100);

ps_set_value($ps"textx"100);
ps_set_value($ps"texty"120);
ps_show($ps"Some text at (100, 120)");
ps_end_page($ps);
