Name

pset_char_space − Specifies how much space will appear between two adjacent characters. 

 
Operating States: PHOP, ∗, STOP, ∗
PHIGS standard function
Creates a structure element

Syntax

void pset_char_space (
  Pfloat     spacing   /∗ (I) Character spacing.  The default value is
                              0.0. ∗/
)

Description

pset_char_space 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.
