NAME

intra_character_space − specify the spacing between character cells. 

SYNOPSIS

C SYNTAX

void intra_character_space(fildes,space);
int fildes;
float space;

FORTRAN77 SYNTAX

        subroutine intra_character_space(fildes,space)
        integer*4 fildes
        real space

PASCAL SYNTAX

procedure intra_character_space(fildes:integer;space:real);

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/STANDARD

Origin: ANSI Computer Graphics Interface

DESCRIPTION

INPUT PARAMETERS

fildes
is an integer file descriptor returned by gopen when an I/O path to a graphic device is opened. 
space
is a fraction of height to be added to the normal space between adjacent characters.

DISCUSSION

Intra_character_space specifies the space between adjacent character cells as a fraction of the character cell height.  Character cell height is defined by character_height.  For example, if character height is 0.3 and character space is set to 0.5, the space between adjacent character cells is (0.3 * 0.5) = 0.15 Virtual Device Coordinate.  The space is added along the character path. 

DEFAULTS

No space between character cells, i.e. space = 0.0.
