GD text justify

[J.J.Cale]

The following code works partially.
If Justify is set to 0, I see 3 separate lines of text left justified

but when I try to right or center justify I only get the first line.
It is
justified but out of vertical position as well it seems. Can someone
correct
this or point me to a working function. TIA

Re: GD text justify

Hi,

The vertical position exceeds the height, so you should be able to
replace

$__H += $_H;

with

$__H += abs($_b[5] - $_b[3]);

There's also an alignment function at:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettfbbox.php#60678

HTH,
