NAME

       gset_char_expan (Set character expansion factor) - sets the width to height ratio of text.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/gks.h>

       void gset_char_expan(Gdouble char_expan);

DESCRIPTION

       char_expan  (Input)  -  Specifies a deviation of the width to height ratio for characters drawn using the
                   GTX output primitive. char_expan of 10.0 would specify a character that is 10 times  as  wide
                   as  normal.   char_expan  of  0.1 would request characters that are 1/10th as wide as normal.
                   The character height remains unchanged. char_expan > 0.  By default char_expan = 1.0

ACCESS

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