imagestringup()

[interactive]

I'm trying to find a way to do this properly.

Take a look at this graphic:

You'll see a bunch of dates listed vertically (in blue text). I'm using the imagestringup function to place those strings on the jpeg image. However I'm running into more of a cosmetic flaw. You'll see the irregular gaps this is due to that fact that that cordinates imagestringup takes are for the starting point of the string and then the text goes up. Is there a way to do it so the cordinates are for the 'top of the text'? I like the way the text is facing, but that's not critcal.

Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated.

Nothing springs to mind for me (I don't use GD Lib text much); one idea that springs to mind (with the above caveat) is that you could use imagerotate to orient the image in a suitable manner so that you can position text more easily (horizontally), and then rotate the image back.

Although that would be a pain in the ass (cause I have either thing positioned manually) it should works. Thanks for the tip 😃
