SetTextRise Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

Set the text rise to be used when drawing text onto the currently loaded PDF document. The text rise parameter specifies the distance, in unscaled text space units (points), to move the baseline up (positive values) or down (negative values) from its default location. Adjustments to the baseline are useful for drawing superscripts or subscripts. The initial value (the default location of the baseline) is set to 0.

The text rise parameter is one of the text state parameters, that only affect text. The text state parameters are initialized to their default values at the beginning of each page (see PDF Reference, Section "Text State Parameters and Operators").

'Declaration
 
Public Function SetTextRise( _
   ByVal Rise As Single _
) As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus SetTextRise( 
   float Rise
)

public function SetTextRise( 
    Rise: Single
): GdPictureStatus;

public function SetTextRise( 
   Rise : float
) : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus SetTextRise( 
   float Rise
)

public:
GdPictureStatus SetTextRise( 
   float Rise
)

Parameters

Rise: The new value for the text rise. Initial value is 0.
This value is defined for use with any font you choose.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

The text rise always applies to the vertical coordinate in text space, regardless of the writing mode.

As being noticed above, be aware that the text state parameters are initialized to their default values at the beginning of each page.

Example

How to use the text rise parameter to draw superscripted and subscripted text within the PDF document.

VB.NET
C#
