Carbon


TextSize

Header: QuickdrawText.h Carbon status: Supported

Sets the font size for text drawn in the current graphics port to the specified number of points.

void TextSize (
    SInt16 size
);
Parameter descriptions
size

The font size in points (0 to 32,767). The initial setting is 0, which specifies that the font size of the system font (normally 12 points) is to be used.

DISCUSSION

The TextSize function sets the font size in the text size (txSize) field of the current graphics port structure. To ensure future compatibility and benefit from any enhancements, always use this function to modify the txSize field, rather than directly change the field value.

AVAILABILITY

Supported in Carbon. Available in Carbon 1.0.2 and later when running Mac OS 8.1 or later.
