ps_set_text_pos - Sets position for text output

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.

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

		exit;
	      }

	      ps_set_info($ps, "Creator", "rectangle.php");
	      ps_set_info($ps, "Author", "Uwe Steinmann");

	      ps_show_xy($ps, "Some text at (100, 100)", 100, 100);

	      ps_set_value($ps, "textx", 100);
