Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Required
frameRGB	array	Frame RGB color.	No.
frameCMYK	array	Frame CMYK color.	No.
textRGB	array	Text RGB color.	No.
textCMYK	array	Text CMYK color.	No.
fontSize	integer	Font size.	No.
fontName	string	Font name.	No.
padding	integer	Padding around the text.	No.
leftPadding	integer	Padding left of the text.	No.
rightPadding	integer	Padding right of the text.	No.
topPadding	integer	Padding above the text.	No.
bottomPadding	integer	Padding below the text.	No.
roundEnds	boolean	Squared or rounded frame edges.	No.

Description

This function creates a text with a colored frame around it. The frame has the size of the text plus the amount of padding. The padding can be specified for each side of the text with the parameters "leftPadding", "rightPadding", "topPadding", and "bottomPadding". If the padding is equal for each side, the "padding" parameter can be used instead.

The "leftPadding" and "rightPadding" parameters may be set to "-1", which will result in padding that reaches the page margin.

By default the frame has squared corners. If the "roundEnds" parameter is set to TRUE, the frame will have rounded corners.

The colors of the frame and the text can be specified using the "frameRGB", "frameCMYK", "textRGB", and "textCMYK" parameters. The RGB parameters must be arrays consisting of three integers between 0 and 255. The CMYK parameters must be arrays consisting of four decimal values between 0.0 and 1.0.

The font can be changed using the "fontSize" and "fontName" parameters.

Examples

Example 1

{pdf(text_frame, "Test frame", hash( roundEnds, true(),
     textCMYK, array(0.89, 0.43, 0.01, 0),
     frameRGB, array(255,255,128),
     padding, 8,
     fontSize, 14))}

This example creates a frame (with round edges) around the sentence "Test frame".
