settextjustify

Sets text justification for graphics functions.

Defined in header <graphics.h>

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>
void  far settextjustify(int horiz, int vert);

Portability

Remarks

Text output after a call to settextjustify is justified around the current position (CP) horizontally and vertically, as specified. The default

vertical). The enumeration text Just in graphics.h provides names for the horiz and vert settings passed to settextjustify.

component is advanced after a call to o\Mex\{string) by textwidth(sfrm^).

settextjustify affects text written with outtext and cannot be used with text mode and stream functions.

Return value

If invalid input is passed to settextjustify, graphresult returns -11, and the current text justification remains unchanged.
