SVG_SET_TEXT_KERNING


SVG_SET_TEXT_KERNING ( svgObject ; kerning {; unit} )

Parameter	Type	Description
svgObject	SVG_Ref	Reference of text element
kerning	Real	Letter spacing
unit	Text	Unit of spacing value

Description

The SVG_Get_text command is used to modify the kerning for the text object designated by svgObject. If svgObject is not an SVG text object, an error is generated.

The optional unit parameter is used to specify the unit of the kerning value. The default value is "%".

If kerning is -1, the kerning value is set to 'auto'.

Note: Under Windows, the implementation is limited to text from left to right and top to bottom (disabled for right to left text) and to the 'text' and 'tspan' elements; under Mac OS, support is not limited.

Example

Examples of kerning variations:
