SVG_SET_TEXT_LETTER_SPACING


SVG_SET_TEXT_LETTER_SPACING ( svgObject ; spacing {; unit} )

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

Description

The SVG_SET_TEXT_LETTER_SPACING command is used to modify the letter spacing for the text object designated by svgObject in addition to the spacing due to the 'kerning' property. If svgObject is not an SVG text object, an error is generated.

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

If spacing is -1, the spacing value is set to 'normal'.
