DrawText
Text, Page layout
Description
Draws text on the selected page, using the selected font at the predetermined font size. If no fonts have been added, then 12 pt Helvetica will automatically be added and selected. The alignment of the text can be changed with the SetTextAlign function.
Text containing Arabic, Hebrew, Indic or other complex-script characters is shaped automatically before drawing (contextual letter forms, mandatory ligatures and right-to-left ordering), provided the selected font is a TrueType or standard font with an installed system face. Use SetTextShaping to disable this routing, or DrawShapedText to shape explicitly with a chosen face. Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and CJK text always keeps the plain drawing path.
Syntax
Delphi
Function TPDFlib.DrawText(XPos, YPos: Double; Const Text: WideString): Integer;ActiveX
Function PDFlib::DrawText(XPos As Double, YPos As Double, Text As String) As LongDLL
int DLDrawText(int InstanceID, double XPos, double YPos, const wchar_t * Text);Parameters
| XPos | The horizontal position of where to draw the text. The reference point is usually to the left of the first character, unless the SetTextAlign function has been used to change the alignment. |
|---|---|
| YPos | The vertical position of where to draw the text. The reference point is the text baseline. |
| Text | The text to draw on the page |
Remarks
While SetVerticalWritingMode is on, the text runs down the page from the given point instead of across it.
