OIPI text in box (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

Hello,

I am wanting to place drawn boxes of various sizes and boarder thickness onto a PDF page with optional text justified inside each.

I have tried a combination of set_printer RECT and TEXTBOX but TEXTBOX doesnt do the justification. Also tried RECT, POS and ADDTABLE (with boarders) but the ADDTABLE body doesnt get positioned correctly nor does it result in the correct box height.

Perhaps there is an eaiser way?

Please help.

PS,

I think the look you are after requires both RECT and ADDTABLE - RECT to draw the boxes and ADDTABLE to place the text. Param of ADDTABLE will allow for the justification of your choosing.

Here is sample PDF created from OIPI: Sample

Basically, every box was created individually with a RECT and an ADDTABLE.

If you need more details, let us know.

Hi,

Would still have to use POS as well as ADDTABLE does not position the text?

Thanks
