imagettfbbox -- Give the bounding box of a text using TrueType fonts
Description
array
imagettfbbox ( float size, float angle, string fontfile, string text )
This function calculates and returns the bounding box in pixels
for a TrueType text.
- size
The font size in pixels.
- angle
Angle in degrees in which text will be
measured.
- fontfile
The name of the TrueType font file (can be a URL). Depending on
which version of the GD library that PHP is using, it may attempt to
search for files that do not begin with a leading '/' by appending
'.ttf' to the filename and searching along a library-defined font path.
- text
The string to be measured.
returns an array with 8
elements representing four points making the bounding box of the
text:
The points are relative to the
text
regardless of the angle, so "upper left" means in the top
left-hand corner seeing the text horizontally.
This function requires both the GD library and the FreeType
library.
