NAME

       GSCHSP (Set character spacing) - sets the character spacing for text.

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.

                   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.  A
                   positive  value  inserts  extra  space between successive characters. A negative value causes
                   successive characters to overlap.  By default CHSP = 0.0.

ACCESS

       To use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks.
