# Synopsis

PDX_MSGT dxcr_ArcText(long option, MDA_PTR orig_ptr, char *text, char *fontname, char *bigfontname, double *centerpt, double radius, double widthfactor, double height, double charspacing, double arcoffset, double rightoffset, double leftoffset, double startangle, double endangle, int charorder, int direction, int alignment, int side, int bold, int italic, int underline, int charset, int pitch, int fonttype, int color, int wizardflag, MDA_PTR textstyleobjhandle, MDA_PTR arcobjhandle, int model, MDA_PTR *dxf_text_ptr)

# Purpose

Create a DXF ArcText.

# Description

A DXF ArcText entity is created for the given data.

The orig_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities.
