Description

PQTXR queries the workstation state list and, for the specified text index, returns values for the following:

•Text font and precision values

•Character expansion factor

•Character spacing

•Text color index

If the specified text index is not in the text bundle table on the specified workstation, and the specified type of returned values is PREALI, Digital PHIGS returns the representation for text index 1.  (See the Device Specifics Reference Manual for DEC GKS and DEC PHIGS for workstation-specific information.)
