CHARACTER_HEIGHT(3G)

NAME

character_height − set character height.

SYNOPSIS

C SYNTAX

void character_height(fildes,height);
int fildes;
float height;

void dccharacter_height(fildes,dcheight);
int fildes,dcheight;

FORTRAN77 SYNTAX

        subroutine character_height(fildes,height)
        integer*4 fildes
        real height

        subroutine dccharacter_height(fildes,dcheight)
        integer*4 fildes,dcheight

PASCAL SYNTAX

procedure character_height(fildes:integer;height:real);

procedure dccharacter_height(fildes,dcheight:integer);

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

DESCRIPTION

INPUT PARAMETERS

fildes
is an integer file descriptor returned by gopen when an I/O path to a graphic device is opened.
height
the height of the character from bottom to top along the character up vector in Virtual Device Coordinates. dcheight
the integer height of the character from bottom to top along the character up vector in Device Coordinates.

DISCUSSION

Character_height specifies the height of subsequently drawn characters. The height is measured along the character up vector from the character cell bottom to the character cell top.

Dccharacter_height specifies the height of subsequently drawn device coordinate characters.

DEFAULTS

1/50 of the y-dimension of the default Virtual Device Coordinate extent. The size of the characters will change if the character up vector is not vertical with respect to the output device’s display.

For dccharacter_height, 15 device coordinates.
