Re: SVG_New_textArea OR SVG_New_tspan
Hi All,
Never mind about the last comment. The solution needs to be applying to each
text area NOT to the SVG document.
Here’s the correct way for each line:
$Dom_text:=SVG_New_textArea ($svgRef;$Txt_buffer;0;0)
SVG_SET_TEXT_ANCHOR ($Dom_text;Align center)
This create the beginning of this code fragment:
// Other text lines within
This is all working in an SVG play ground area. Now to the actual document and
get ti working there.
Pretty cool and simple once the basics are understood.
And then to centering the object from the point of origin…
Hope this helps someone else.

Re: SVG_New_textArea OR SVG_New_tspan
Hi All,
So building a TSpan text variable and passing it
$Dom_text:=SVG_New_textArea ($svgRef;$Txt_buffer;400;400)
Works in terms of all the text and it seem that it is placed at the left/top.
However, I cannot figure out how to get all the text lines to align center.
""+$chartInfo{$ndx}+""
Adding “align:center” doesn’t work.
The html tag “text-align: center” doesn't work either.
And using SVG_SET_TEXT_ANCHOR ($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…

Re: SVG_New_textArea OR SVG_New_tspan
John, I find textAreas easier to work with for those purposes. The only drawback is that the textArea is not supported by some browsers. I'll see some documents appear without their text in Safari when textArea is being used.

SVG_New_textArea OR SVG_New_tspan
Hi All, 4D v17 (mac and windows) In my current need I have been creating text by looping though an array and then creating each text line individually and placing each new line below the one previously created. This works fine. But there are scenarios where I would be easier to manage a series of text as a single object (SVG_New_textArea OR SVG_New_tspan) and then place it centered horizontally/vertically at a point on the doc. For example placing centered lines of text within a circle and having it perfectly centered both horizontally and vertically. Before I rewrite code I’d like to make sure that I am conceiving the problem correctly. And then using the correct SVG command. Anyone with experience who has used SVG_New_textArea OR SVG_New_tspan? Are they the “ideal" way to move forward?
