NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/gks.h>

       void gset_char_space(Gdouble char_space);

DESCRIPTION

       char_space  (Input) - Specifies how much additional white space should be inserted between
                   characters drawn using the gtext output primitive. char_space 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 char_space = 0.0.

ACCESS

       To use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries.
