gettextsettings

Gets information about the current graphics text font.

Defined in header <graphics.h>

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>
void far gettextsettings(struct textsettingstype far *texttypeinfo);

Portability

Remarks

gettextsettings fills the textsettingstype structure pointed to by textinfo with information about the current text font, direction, size, and justification.

The textsettingstype structure used by gettextsettings is defined in graphics.h as follows:

struct textsettingstype { int font; int direction; int charsize; int horiz; int vert; }; See settextstyle for a description of these fields.

Return value

None.
