Multibyte Text Work 5.7
dlpdftextadvance call looks much like the dlpdfcontentwidetextwidth calls, but with some
enhancements.
void dlpdftextadvance (DLPDFTEXT *, DLPDFFONT *,
PDEGraphicState *,
PDETextState *,
ASFixed, ASFixed,
dlpdftext_X,
ASFixed, ASFixedPoint *)
• The first argument is a DLPDFTEXT area that contains text to be set...
• ...in the indicated DLPDFFONT...
• ...using the supplied graphics of PDEGraphicState...
• ...and text states of PDETextState.
• The fifth argument describes the point size of the font;
• the sixth argument describes the set width of the font;
• the seventh argument, the dlpdftext_X parameter, is one of DLPDFTEXT_X_LEFT or
DLPDFTEXT_X_RIGHT, used to indicate whether the starting location is the left or right end
(respectively) of the text, distinguishing a left-to-right line order (e.g. English) from a right-to-left line
order (e.g. Arabic);
• the eighth argument indicates the angle of text (in counterclockwise degrees), supplied as an ASFixed
value;
• the ninth argument is a pointer to an ASFixedPoint; the X and Y position change resulting from this
call is returned in ASFixed units in this ASFixedPoint.
An exception will be raised for invalid parameters, or if the text advance could not be calculated.
dlpdftexttocontent
Once a line of text to be set is generated, it can be placed into a content area using the
dlpdftexttocontent function call. It is similar in declaration to the dlpdftextadvance call, but
