GSCHSP(3NCARG)

💖 GSCHSP 💖 — like, the NCAR GRAPHICS manual page, bestie

okay so real talk: this is GSCHSP from the 3NCARG manual, part of NCAR GRAPHICS, and she is here to tell you how to make your letters breathe. slay. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

GSCHSP (Set character spacing) — sets the character spacing for text. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL GSCHSP (CHSP)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_char_space(Gdouble char_space);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

• CHSP — (Real, Input) — specifies how much additional white space should be inserted between characters drawn using the GTX output primitive. CHSP is specified as a fraction of the character height. periodt.

so like, the tea on the actual values:

• a character spacing of zero positions the character body of each successive character contiguously, with enough white space between them to produce pleasing normal spacing. it's giving "effortless, actually".
• a positive value inserts extra space between successive characters. personal space! boundaries! we love that. 🫶
• a negative value causes successive characters to overlap. 😭 yes fr fr, they just start sitting on top of each other. chaotic. iconic. probably not what you want but nobody's stopping you.
• by default, CHSP = 0.0.

👑 ACCESS 👑
