php-tcpdfHow can I use the PHP TCPDF library to create a cell?

To use the PHP TCPDF library to create a cell, you need to include the TCPDF library in your project, then call the Cell method. The Cell method requires 3 parameters: the width, the height and the text to be displayed. Here is an example:

<?php
require_once('tcpdf.php');

$pdf = new TCPDF();

$pdf->Cell(50, 10, 'Hello World!');

$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'I');

This will output a PDF with a cell with a width of 50 points and a height of 10 points, containing the text "Hello World!".

The Cell method also has optional parameters which you can use to customize the cell. These are:

• $border (int): Specifies if borders should be drawn around the cell. Accepts the constants TCPDF_CELL_BORDER_NONE, TCPDF_CELL_BORDER_LEFT, TCPDF_CELL_BORDER_TOP, TCPDF_CELL_BORDER_RIGHT and TCPDF_CELL_BORDER_BOTTOM.
• $ln (int): Indicates where the current position should go after the call. Accepts the constants 0 (to the right), 1 (to the beginning of the next line), and 2 (below).
• $align (string): Allows to center or align the text. Accepts the constants L (left), C (center) and R (right).
• $fill (boolean): Indicates if the cell background should be painted (true) or transparent (false).
• $link (string): URL or identifier returned by AddLink().

For more information about the Cell method, please refer to the TCPDF documentation.
