Syntax

PSCHSP (CHSP)

Argument       Data Type      Access    Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHSP           Real           Read      Character spacing.  The default
                                        value is 0.0.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PSCHSP uses the character spacing value to specify how much space will appear between two adjacent characters.  Depending on the current edit mode, this function either inserts the new structure element directly after the element indicated by the pointer or replaces the element indicated by the pointer. The pointer then points to the new set character spacing element. 

During traversal, the set character spacing element sets the current character spacing entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the specified value.  If the current text font ASF entry in the PHIGS traversal state list is INDIVIDUAL, Digital PHIGS uses the value when creating text and text 3 primitives.  If the ASF setting is BUNDLED, the value has no effect. 

If Digital PHIGS is in immediate mode, it performs this function immediately, but the function does not create a structure element.
