GPR_$SET_SPACE_SIZE GPR Calls GPR_$SET_SPACE_SIZE
NAME
gpr_$set_space_size - specifies the amount of horizontal space to leave
blank when printing a character not defined in the current font.
FORMAT
gpr_$set_space_size (font_id, space_size, status)
DESCRIPTION
This routine specifies the amount of horizontal space to leave blank when
printing a character not defined in the current font. The space size is
the number of pixels to skip in the horizontal direction when you write a
character that is not in the font. Space size is not the size of the
space character. To set the size of the space character use
gpr_$set_char_width.
Input Parameters
font_id
Identifier of the text font. This is a 2-byte integer.
space_size
Space size is the number of pixels to skip in the horizontal direc-
tion when you include a character that is not in the font. This is a
2-byte integer. Possible values are -127 to 127.
Output Parameters
status
Completion status, in status_$t format.
SEE ALSO
gpr_$inq_space_size, gpr_$replicate_font, gpr_$set_character_width,
gpr_$set_horizontal_spacing, gpr_$set_space_size.
NOTES
The initial character widths are defined in the font file.
To use routines that change fonts, you must first call
gpr_$replicate_font to create a modifiable copy of a font. The font-
modifying routines include gpr_$set_character_width,
gpr_$set_horizontal_spacing, and gpr_$set_space_size. These calls change
only the local copy of the font. If you unload a font and reload it, the
font is reset to the values in the font file.
