   (PHP 3>= 3.0.1, PHP 4 )
   imagettfbbox -- Give the bounding box of a text using TrueType fonts

Description

   array imagettfbbox ( int size, int angle, string fontfile, string
   text)

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

   text
          The string to be measured.

   size
          The font size in pixels.

   fontfile
          The name of the TrueType font file. (Can also be an URL.)
          Depending on which version of the GD library that PHP is using,
          it may attempt to search for files that do not begin with a
          leading '/' by appending '.ttf' to the filename and searching
          along a library-defined font path.

   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 horizontally.

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