# ImageTTFBBox

ImageTTFBBox -- give the bounding box of a text using TypeType fonts

## Description

`array ImageTTFBBox`(int size, int angle, string fontfile, string text);

This function calculates and returns the bounding box in pixels a TrueType text.

`text`

  The string to be measured.

`size`

  The font size.

`fontfile`

  The name of the TrueType font file. (Can also be an URL.)

`angle`

  Angle in degrees in which `text` will be measured.

ImageTTFBBox() returns an array with 8 elements representing four points making the bounding box of the text:

0 | lower left corner, X position
1 | lower left corner, Y position
2 | lower right corner, X position
3 | lower right corner, Y position
4 | upper right corner, X position
5 | upper right corner, Y position
6 | upper left corner, X position
7 | upper left corner, Y position

The points are relative to the text regardless of the angle, so "upper left" means in the top left-hand corner seeing the text horizontallty.

This function requires both the GD library and the Freetype library.
