Problem with justified text
Posted: 22 Jul 2015, 00:17
I am having problems creating justified text in a DWG file. It only seems to work properly if the Point is 0,0.
For the code snippet below, I try to create justified text. It only works with the 0,0 version. I believe this is because the code sets the "Geometry Position X" variable, but it should be setting the "Text alignment X" variable as shown in AutoCAD. I am attaching a screen shot of the text properties from the code snippet below.

Code: Select all
// VAlign and HAlign constants to justify text - I found these in the help file
const byte VALIGN_BASELINE = 0;
const byte VALIGN_BOTTOM = 1;
const byte VALIGN_MIDDLE = 2;
const byte VALIGN_TOP = 3;
const byte HALIGN_LEFT = 0;
const byte HALIGN_CENTER = 1;
const byte HALIGN_RIGHT = 2;
const byte HALIGN_ALIGNED = 3; // if vertical alignment = 0
const byte HALIGN_MIDDLE = 4; // if vertical alignment = 0
const byte HALIGN_FIT = 5; // if vertical alignment = 0
byte hal = HALIGN_CENTER;
byte val = VALIGN_MIDDLE;
// test 1
{
TsgDXFText *vText = new TsgDXFText();
vText->HAlign = hal;
vText->VAlign = val;
vText->Text = "This is a test, horizontal center, vertical middle, 0,0";
vText->Point = MakeFPoint(0, 0, 0);
vText->Height = 1.2;
vText->Layer = pDrawing->Converter->LayerByName("TEXT2-8");
vText->Color = clRed;
if(!PlaceEntity(vText))
delete vText;
}
// test 2
{
TsgDXFText *vText = new TsgDXFText();
vText->HAlign = hal;
vText->VAlign = val;
vText->Text = "This is a test, horizontal center, vertical middle, 10, 40";
vText->Point = MakeFPoint(10, 40, 0);
vText->Height = 1.2;
vText->Layer = pDrawing->Converter->LayerByName("TEXT2-8");
vText->Color = clRed;
if(!PlaceEntity(vText))
delete vText;
