ps_set_text_pos

Description

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

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($ps, "Title", "Text placement example"); ps_begin_page($ps, 596, 842); $psfont = ps_findfont($ps, "Helvetica", "", 0); ps_setfont($ps, $psfont, 8.0); ps_show_xy($ps, "Some text at (100, 100)", 100, 100); ps_set_value($ps, "textx", 100); ps_set_value($ps, "texty", 120); ps_show($ps, "Some text at (100, 120)"); ps_end_page($ps); ps_delete($ps); ?>
