imagefttext Function synopsis

imagefttext(
    GdImage $image,
    float $size,
    float $angle,
    int $x,
    int $y,
    int $color,
    string $font_filename,
    string $text,
    array $options = []
  ): array|false

Parameters

$image

TypeGdImage

$size

Typefloat

The font size to use in points.

$angle

Typefloat

The angle in degrees, with 0 degrees being left-to-right reading text. Higher values represent a counter-clockwise rotation. For example, a value of 90 would result in bottom-to-top reading text.

$x

Typeint

The coordinates given by $x and $y will define the basepoint of the first character (roughly the lower-left corner of the character). This is different from the imagestring, where $x and $y define the upper-left corner of the first character. For example, "top left" is 0, 0.

$y

Typeint

The y-ordinate. This sets the position of the fonts baseline, not the very bottom of the character.

$color

Typeint

The index of the desired color for the text, see imagecolorexact.

$font_filename

Typestring

The path to the TrueType font you wish to use.

$text

Typestring

Text to be inserted into image.

$options

OptionalTypearrayDefault value[]

Return value

Typearray|false

This function returns an array defining the four points of the box, starting in the lower left and moving counter-clockwise:

On failure, false is returned.
