Summary

Usage

pdf( text_box, hash( text, text
                     x,     x_offset,
                     y,     y_offset,
                     width, total width,
                   [ align, text_alignment, ]
                   [ size,  text_size       ] ) )

Parameters

Description

This function creates a text box at the specified place on the current page. The font properties (type, size, and color) are not affected by the "set_font" function.

If the text box is positioned before any other content, the content will flow nicely over and under the text box. If other content is present before the text box is added, the text box will overlap it.

Examples

Example 1

{pdf( 'text_box',  hash( 'text', 'This text appears in a text box.'|wash( 'pdf' ),
                         'x', 250,
                         'y', 400,
                         'width', 30) )}

This example will write a sentence at coordinate (250, 400).
