Re^2: PDF API2 - landscape and rotating text and image

Hi Ken,

Thank you so much for your explanation and great working code! Wouldn't have thought of a For loop to do the left and right tasks.

I have one question for the line below:

$gfx->image($cfg->{img}, 0, 0);

The values of 0,0 - that outputs the image in its original size (am I right?). I tried with values like 200, 200 to get bigger images but the images don't appear. How do I output the images to bigger sizes?

Thanks you for your great help once again :))

You should look in PDF::API2::Content for information on `image()`, `transform()`, and related methods. In particular, look at the "External Objects" and "Coordinate Transformations" sections. The '`0, 0`' to which you referred are co-ordinates, not sizes. As the code already sets the co-ordinates via the '`-translate`' option of `transform()`, further modification of the co-ordinates by `image()` is not wanted. The `image()` method has a number of forms allowing you to change width, height, and scale. There's also a '`-scale`' option for `transform()`. Note that if you change the size, you'll also need to adjust the co-ordinates accordingly. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ok, thanks! The transform() method is new to me. Took a quick look and saw you can do scaling and skewing with it. Great learning from your earlier code, many thanks :))	[reply]
