gset_char_space Set character spacing(3) sets the character spacing for text.

SYNOPSIS

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_char_space(Gdouble char_space);

DESCRIPTION

char_space
(Input) - Specifies how much additional white space should be inserted between characters drawn using the gtext output primitive. char_space is specified as a fraction of the character height.

A character spacing of zero positions the character body of each successive character contiguously with enough white space between them to produce pleasing normal spacing. A positive value inserts extra space between successive characters. A negative value causes successive characters to overlap. By default char_space = 0.0.

ACCESS
