Multibyte Text Work 5.9
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 note the addition of the DLPDFCONTENT area pointer
as the second parameter. Also note the additional ASFixed parameters:
void dlpdftexttocontent (DLPDFTEXT *, DLPDFCONTENT *,
DLPDFFONT *,
PDEGraphicState *,
PDETextState *,
ASFixed, ASFixed, ASFixed, ASFixed,
dlpdftext_X, ASFixed)
• The first argument is a DLPDFTEXT area that contains text to be set...
• ...to be placed in the indicated DLPDFCONTENT...
• ...in the indicated DLPDFFONT...
• ...using the supplied graphics of PDEGraphicState...
• ...and text states of PDETextState.
• The sixth parameter, the first of four ASFixed parameters, denotes font point size;
• the seventh parameter is set width;
• the eighth parameter is the X-axis value of the starting baseline position;
• the ninth parameter is the Y-axis value of the baseline position;
• the tenth parameter, dlpdftext_X, 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 eleventh parameter indicates the angle of text (in counterclockwise degrees),
supplied as an ASFixed value.
