Putting padding between string and border in TCPDF

Question

How would I put padding between a string and the border to said string in TCPDF. I'm not seeing any way to do that in the Text() method.

Do I have to use another method? Is there anyway to accomplish this?

This would be an example of code I'm using:

$pdf->Text(130, $margintop, $fieldkey, false, false, true, 'B', 0, '', false, '', 0, false, 'B', 'T', false);

TCPDF assigned default-values to the cell-paddings, which can be overwritten:

$pdf->setCellPaddings( $left = '', $top = '', $right = '', $bottom = '');

Or, with using the same padding for all sides:

$pdf->setCellPadding( $padding );
