Hi All,
So building a TSpan text variable and passing it
$Dom_text:=SVG_New_textArea ($svgRef;$Txt_buffer;400;400)
Works in terms of all the text and it seem that it is placed at the left/top.
However, I cannot figure out how to get all the text lines to align center.
"<SPAN
STYLE=\"font-size:18pt;font-weight:bold;text-align:center\">"+$chartInfo{$ndx}+"</SPAN>"
Adding “align:center” doesn’t work.
The html tag “text-align: center” doesn't work either.
And using SVG_SET_TEXT_ANCHOR ($svgRef;Align center)
Doesn’t do anything.
Anyone successfully able to set an SVG text area so that all the text lines
align centered?
Thanks,
John…
