(PHP 3 >= 3.0.9, PHP 4, PHP 5)imagepstext -- To draw a text string over an image using PostScript Type1 fonts

Description

array imagepstext (resource image, string text, resource font, int size, int foreground, int background, int x, int y [, int space, int tightness, float angle, int antialias_steps])

- foreground is the color in which the text

will be painted. Background is the color

to which the text will try to fade in with antialiasing. No

pixels with the color background are

actually painted, so the background image does not need to be of

solid color.

- The coordinates given by x,

y will define the origin (or reference

point) of the first character (roughly the lower-left corner of

the character). This is different from the

imagestring(), where x,

y define the upper-right corner of the

first character. Refer to PostScript documentation about fonts and

their measuring system if you have trouble understanding how this

works.

- space allows you to change the default

value of a space in a font. This amount is added to the normal

value and can also be negative.

- tightness allows you to control the amount

of white space between characters. This amount is added to the

normal character width and can also be negative.

- angle is in degrees.

- size is expressed in pixels.

- antialias_steps allows you to control the

number of colours used for antialiasing text. Allowed values are

4 and 16. The higher value is recommended for text sizes lower

than 20, where the effect in text quality is quite visible. With

bigger sizes, use 4. It's less computationally intensive.

- Parameters space and

tightness are expressed in character space

units, where 1 unit is 1/1000th of an em-square.

- Parameters space,

tightness, angle

and antialias_steps are optional.

- This function returns an array containing the following elements:
