The graPHIGS Programming Interface: ISO PHIGS Subroutine Reference

SET CHARACTER SPACING (PHOP,*,STOP,*)

Purpose

Use Set Character Spacing to insert a Set Character Spacing structure element into the open structure following the element pointer or replace the element pointed at by the element pointer with a Set Character Spacing structure element, depending on the current edit mode.

At structure traversal time, this structure element specifies the additional amount of space that the graPHIGS API inserts between characters to render all subsequent text primitives when the character spacing aspect source flag value is set to INDIVIDUAL (Set Individual ASF).

This value is expressed as a fraction of the height.

The traversal default value for character spacing is 0.0.
