Purpose |
To scale the font being used on the current drawing surface. |
|
Syntax |
SUBROUTINE SCALE_FONT@( SIZE ) |
|
Description |
Rescales the font being used on the current drawing surface. The scaling involves integer truncation and so is only approximate. A more accurate result may be given by SCALE_FONT1@. This routine uses rounding rather than truncation but is otherwise the same as SCALE_FONT@. Because of their approximate nature, these functions should not be used in succession and it is recommended that a routine such as SIZE_IN_PIXELS@ be used from time to time in order to set a base size. Alternatively the subroutine UNSCALE_FONT@(), which takes no arguments, may be called in order to undo the immediately previous call to SCALE_FONT@ or SCALE_FONT1@. |
