WriteText()

Description

WriteText — Writes a single line of text directly to the PDF document at a specified position.

Description

void WriteText( float $w, float $h, string $text)

Writes a single line of text directly to the PDF document at a specified position.

Prints a character string. The origin is on the left of the first character, on the baseline. This method allows to place a string precisely on the page, but it is usually easier to use WriteCell(), MultiCell() or Write() which are the standard methods to print text.

Parameters

$w

Abscissa of the origin, horizontal.

$h

Ordinate of the origin, vertical.

$text

String to print. This method accepts UTF-8 encoded text, and will reverse RTL (right-to-left) text when appropriate.

Text containing HTML entities, as well as decimal and hex e.g. ' ≬ or ↤ can be used, by setting:

<?php
$mpdf->text_input_as_HTML = true; //(default = false)
  

This will convert all the above to their appropriate characters, otherwise the text will be output as it is.
