GSET_CHAR_HT(3NCARG)

💖 GSET_CHAR_HT 💖 (3NCARG)

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the internet, where we make text look cute at whatever size we want 💅

gset_char_ht — aka Set character height — does exactly one thing and does it gorgeously: it sets the character height for text. that's it. that's the whole job. and she eats every time ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_char_ht(Gdouble char_ht);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

• char_ht (Input) — this is the height, in world coordinates, at which a character gets drawn when you use the GTX output primitive. so like, how big is your letter gonna be, in the units your world is actually measured in. char_ht > 0 — she must be positive, no zero, no negatives, we do not do that here 💀

and if you just don't say anything? the default is char_ht = 0.01. tiny queen energy. if your text is coming out microscopic, that's why bestie 😭

🫶 ACCESS 🫶

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load up the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. no skipping 🎀
