Parameters

textvalue string

The string to be displayed in the vdText object.

height double

The vdText's height.

insertionPt object

The vdText's insertion point.

horjust int

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

verjust int

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

rotation double

The vdText's rotation in radians.

drawit bool

Defines if the vdText will be drawn.

entities object

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

Returns

object

The created vdText object.

Remarks

You can create new points by using the newpoint(double, double, double) 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 );
