		- Resource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new(3).

	      o $width
		- The width of the template in pixel.

SYNOPSIS

       bool ps_set_text_pos (resource  $psdoc, float  $x, float  $y)

DESCRIPTION

	Set  the position for the next text output. You may alternatively set the x and y value separately by calling ps_set_value(3) and choosing
       textx respectively texty as the value name.

	If you want to output text at a certain position it is more convenient to use ps_show_xy(3) instead of setting the text position and call-
       ing ps_show(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $psdoc
		- Resource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new(3).

	      o $x
		- x-coordinate of the new text position.

	      o $y
		- y-coordinate of the new text position.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Placing text at a given position

	      <?php
	      $ps = ps_new();
	      if (!ps_open_file($ps, "text.ps")) {
		print "Cannot open PostScript file
";
		exit;
	      }

	      ps_set_info($ps, "Creator", "rectangle.php");
	      ps_set_info($ps, "Author", "Uwe Steinmann");
	      ps_set_info($ps, "Title", "Text placement example");

	      ps_begin_page($ps, 596, 842);
	      $psfont = ps_findfont($ps, "Helvetica", "", 0);
	      ps_setfont($ps, $psfont, 8.0);
	      ps_show_xy($ps, "Some text at (100, 100)", 100, 100);

	      ps_set_value($ps, "textx", 100);
	      ps_set_value($ps, "texty", 120);
	      ps_show($ps, "Some text at (100, 120)");
	      ps_end_page($ps);
