# ## Text Box Alignment # # The [HexaPDF::Layout::TextBox] class can be used to easily lay out text inside # a rectangular area, with various horizontal and vertical alignment options. # # The text inside the box can be aligned horizontally by setting # [HexaPDF::Layout::Style#align] and vertically by # [HexaPDF::Layout::Style#valign]. In this example, a sample text is laid out in # all possible combinations. # # Usage: # : `ruby text_box_alignment.rb` # require 'hexapdf' sample_text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
