note 75718 added to function.imagettftext

Creating multiline text with GD is bit complicated, one of the issues I've ran to is how to set line spacing, a normal feature in all type setting (even type writers). By default, line spacing with imagettftext seems to be 150 % or more, too much for me anyhow. Thus I've used the function below to get the lines closer to each other. By default, it appears to create 100 % linespacing, but it has not been tested thoroughly. null imagettfmultilinetext (resource $image, float $size, float $angle, int $x, int $y, int $color, string $fontfile, string $text , $spacing) spacing is a coefficient, comparable to Line spacing in a word processors or graphics software, causing a shift relative to font size in the line spacing <?php function imagettfmultilinetext($image, $size, $angle, $x, $y, $color, $fontfile, $text, $spacing=1) { $lines=explode("\n",$text); for($i=0; $i< count($lines); $i++) { $newY=$y+($i * $size * $spacing); imagettftext($image, $size, $angle, $x, $newY, $color, $fontfile, $lines[$i], $spacing); } return null; } ?> ---- Server IP: 62.237.7.3 Probable Submitter: 128.214.215.13 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75718 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75718/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75718/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75718/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75718/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75718/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75718/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75718 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75718 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
