.SH NAME
gset_char_space (Set character spacing) - sets the character spacing for text.
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <ncarg/gks.h>
.sp
void gset_char_space(Gdouble char_space);
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IP char_space 12
(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.
.sp
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.
.SH ACCESS
To use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and
ncarg_c libraries.
