showUTF8center( text, mode )

Argument

text

Static text string or data selection to be displayed. Bear in mind that the information, wether static or variable, must be in

UTF8. The maputf8 function can be used to convert the information to UTF8.

mode

String value specifying the contextual analysis is to be performed. Possible values are 'normal', 'reverse', and 'none' (for no

contextual analysis).

Example 1

This example illustrates a static text string (the name Saudi Arabia) escaped to its UTF8 reference form that will be displayed

from the insertion point to the left.

setlinewidth(0.007)

moveto(0,0)

rlineto(&width,0)

rlineto(0,&height)

rlineto(neg(&width),0)

rlineto(0,neg(&height))

closepath()

stroke()

moveto(&width/2,&height/2)

SetStyleExt(&Style1,12.0000,0,[100],100)

showUTF8left('\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0639\u0648\u062F\u064A\u0629', 'normal')

Example 2

This example shows a variable text string that is taken from the data, converted from the MS-CP-1256 encoding to UTF8 and

then displayed from the insertion point to the right.

setlinewidth(0.007)

moveto(0,0)

rlineto(&width,0)

rlineto(0,&height)

rlineto(neg(&width),0)
