These methods just emit PDF’s begin text (BT) and end text (ET) operators. Basically, you only need to use them when you switch between text and graphics. You can put as many lines and paragraphs of text as you like inside a single BT, ET pair: BT text…. text.... text... ET The text operators between BT and ET can draw text, update the text matrix, make new lines, etc. Note that BT, ET are *never* nested. > Blake McBride --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
