FPDF Center Align Rotated Text

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 11.2014

I am rotating text like this
$pdf->RotatedText(17,145,$lefttext,90);

But this $lefttext is entered by the user and needs to be centered between the top and bottom of the page, so the 145 needs to be changed to a variable, based on the length of the text.

I can center horizonal text with something like this
$pdf->Cell(0,$height,$toptext,0,1,’C’);

I have been trying to use GetStringWidth for the rotated text, but am about to pull the only hair I have left out!
Any examples of this code would be appreciated.
Thanks

@ginerjmMay 12.2014 — Some perhaps silly questions:

1 - why not just print landscape and avoid the rotation? Or is there more on this page?

2 - You're talking about getting an exact position which may currently be only off by the normal height of this text. Why is it so important to be more exact than that?

btw - been using fpdf for a couple years and apparently there have been some new improvements. Never had RotateText available before.

@lexiferrauthorMay 12.2014 — The users are creating a bar graph, and this text will be over on the left side of the graph. So if someone types 3 letters vs someone typing 20 letters. the text would need adjusted accordingly. The font will always be the same size.

Success!
