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.
