You can place text by activating the Text tool in the IN_SetTool function, or by calling the IN_PlaceVectorObject function. You can also use one of two functions designed specifically for placing text.
To place a text object with specific attributes:
· To set many text options, including fill style, as you place text, use the IN_PlaceTextFillStyle function. Note that this function is not yet available in Imagenation for UNIX.
· To set many text options, other than fill style, as you place text, use the IN_PlaceText function.
The text appears with the specified attributes--location, font, color, style, size, rotation, and fill style (if relevant). Note that the IN_V1_TEXT_* structures and IN_V2_TEXT_* structures used with IN_PlaceVectorObject allow you to set different attributes when placing text objects, such as justification, orientation, and shear.
