12. Overview Fonts¶
Fonts contain attributes like font name, size, color etc. Fonts can be used for text objects, axes titles etc.
Example
The following example sets the font for the diagram axes and titles to 12pt, “Times New Roman” in red.
// Create sinus curve
x = linspace(0,2*PI,100)
y = sin(x)
h = plot(x, y)
// plot returns a vector with three elements.
// The second element is the diagram handle.
// Retrieve x axis font:
hFont = LayerGetAxisTitleFont(h[2], "X");
// Set attributes:
FontSetHeight(hFont, 12);
FontSetFaceName(hFont, "Times New Roman");
FontSetColorRGB(hFont, [255,0,0]);
// Set font
LayerSetAxisTitleFont(h[2], "X", hFont);
LayerSetAxisTitleFont(h[2], "Y", hFont);
LayerSetAxisLabelFont(h[2], "X", hFont);
LayerSetAxisLabelFont(h[2], "Y", hFont);
// Destroy font
// LayerGetAxisTitleFont returned a copy of a font.
