# ps_set_text_pos

(PECL)

ps_set_text_pos -- Sets position for text output

## Description

bool ps_set_text_pos ( resource psdoc, float x, float y )

Set the position for the next text output. You may alternatively set the x and y value separately by calling ps_set_value() and choosing textx respectively texty as the value name.

If you want to output text at a certain position it is more convenient to use ps_show_xy() instead of setting the text position and calling ps_show().

## Parameters

psdoc

  Resource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new().

x

  x-coordinate of the new text position.

y

  y-coordinate of the new text position.

## Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

## Examples

Example 1. Placing text at a given position
`<?php $ps = ps_new(); if (!ps_open_file($ps, "text.ps")) { print "Cannot open PostScript file\n"; exit; } ps_set_info($ps, "Creator", "rectangle.php"); ps_set_info($ps, "Author", "Uwe Steinmann"); ps_set_info($ps, "Title", "Text placement example"); ps_begin_page($ps, 596, 842); $psfont = ps_findfont($ps, "Helvetica", "", 0); ps_setfont($ps, $psfont, 8.0); ps_show_xy($ps, "Some text at (100, 100)", 100, 100); ps_set_value($ps, "textx", 100); ps_set_value($ps, "texty", 120); ps_show($ps, "Some text at (100, 120)"); ps_end_page($ps); ps_delete($ps); ?>`
