| 25 | The first line defines where the font directory resides, relative to the current directory.<BR> |
|---|
| 26 | Then, after including the library file, we create an FPDF object. |
|---|
| 27 | The <A HREF='../doc/fpdf.htm'>FPDF()</A> constructor is used here with the default values: pages are in A4 portrait and |
|---|
| 28 | the measure unit is millimeter. It could have been specified explicitly with: |

| 36 | It is possible to use landscape (<TT>L</TT>), other page formats (such as <TT>Letter</TT> and |
|---|
| 37 | <TT>Legal</TT>) and measure units (<TT>pt</TT>, <TT>cm</TT>, <TT>in</TT>). |
|---|
| 38 | <BR> |
|---|
| 39 | <BR> |
|---|
| 40 | There is no page for the moment, so we have to add one with <A HREF='../doc/addpage.htm'>AddPage()</A>. The origin |
|---|
| 41 | is at the upper-left corner and the current position is by default placed at 1 cm from the |
|---|
| 42 | borders; the margins can be changed with <A HREF='../doc/setmargins.htm'>SetMargins()</A>. |
|---|
| 43 | <BR> |
|---|
| 44 | <BR> |
|---|
| 45 | Before we can print text, it is mandatory to select a font with <A HREF='../doc/setfont.htm'>SetFont()</A>, otherwise the |
|---|
| 46 | document would be invalid. We choose Arial bold 16: |

| 54 | We could have specified italics with I, underlined with U or a regular font with an empty string |
|---|
| 55 | (or any combination). Note that the font size is given in points, not millimeters (or another |
|---|
| 56 | user unit); it is the only exception. The other standard fonts are Times, Courier, Symbol and |
|---|
| 57 | ZapfDingbats. |
|---|
| 58 | <BR> |
|---|
| 59 | <BR> |
|---|
| 60 | We can now print a cell with <A HREF='../doc/cell.htm'>Cell()</A>. A cell is a rectangular area, possibly framed, |
|---|
| 61 | which contains some text. It is output at the current position. We specify its dimensions, |
|---|
| 62 | its text (centered or aligned), if borders should be drawn, and where the current position |
|---|
| 63 | moves after it (to the right, below or to the beginning of the next line). To add a frame, we would do this: |
|---|
| 64 | <BR> |
|---|
| 65 | <BR> |

| 79 | Remark : the line break can also be done with <A HREF='../doc/ln.htm'>Ln()</A>. This method allows to specify |
|---|
| 80 | in addition the height of the break. |
|---|
| 81 | <BR> |
|---|
| 82 | <BR> |
|---|
| 83 | Finally, the document is closed and sent to the browser with <A HREF='../doc/output.htm'>Output()</A>. We could have saved |
|---|
| 84 | it in a file by passing the desired file name. |
|---|
| 85 | <BR> |
|---|
| 86 | <BR> |
|---|
| 87 | Caution: in case when the PDF is sent to the browser, nothing else must be output, not before |
|---|
| 88 | nor after (the least space or carriage return matters). If you send some data before, you will |
|---|
| 89 | get the error message: "Some data has already been output to browser, can't send PDF file". If |
|---|
| 90 | you send after, your browser may display a blank page. |
