Parameters

textvalue

The string to be displayed in the vdText object.

height

The vdText's height.

insertionPt

The vdText's insertion point.

horjust

The vdText's horizontal justification. You can set values between the VdConstHorJust_VdTextHorLeft, VdConstHorJust_VdTextHorRight, VdConstHorJust_VdTextHorAligned, VdConstHorJust_VdTextHorCenter and VdConstHorJust_VdTextHorFit.

verjust

The vdText's vertical justification. You can set values between the VdConstVerJust_VdTextVerBaseLine, VdConstVerJust_VdTextVerBottom, VdConstVerJust_VdTextVerCen and VdConstVerJust_VdTextVerTop.

rotation

The vdText's rotation in radians.

drawit

Defines if the vdText will be drawn.

entities

The entities collection where the text will be added. This can be the entities of layout or a block.

Return Value

You can create new points by using the newpoint method. Attention, the source .vds file is not modified.

NOTE: When adding a new text, the characters must be already defined in the vds file that you already select to vdcanvas. By default all characters from 0 to 255 for all textstyles and additionally all characters that are used by vdText,vdMtext objects in the drawing, are exported . If you want to use additional characters or to ensure that some characters always exist in the webControl, you must add them during the vddocument.ExportScript call from VectorDraw FrameWork It can be done by using the 3rd parameter in the parameters argument of the ExportScript For Example string ensureCharacters = "Coffee - Filter and Ground"; object [] paramenters = new object[]{null,6,ensureCharacters .ToCharArray()}; document.ExportScript("myfilename.vds",null,paramenters );
