CALL TC_win_SetFont(wid,”Times”,12,”Bold italic”)
Where wid is the ID of the window you wish the font to apply to.
You may change the font details any number of times, so it is possible to fill the screen
with a variety of fonts in different sizes and styles, and in different colors, e.g.
CALL TC_win_SetFont(wid,”Times”,12,”Bold italic”)
Set Color 9 ! blue
PLOT TEXT, AT 20,50:”This is an example”
CALL TC_win_SetFont(wid,”Arial”,16,”Bold”)
Set Color 12 ! red
PLOT TEXT, AT 20,100:”of different fonts”
CALL TC_win_SetFont(wid,”Helvetica”,10,”Plain”)
Set Color 13 ! magenta
PLOT TEXT, AT 20,150:”in various colors”
Much of your programming effort will have been spent devising ways of getting user
INPUT, and then even more time working out how to display the output data. The
tools available in BronzeTC will make these tasks much easier and will give greater
impact to your output.
Remember that all the code you use with BronzeTC will run without any changes if
you later upgrade to the TrueCtrl and TrueDial library modules. This is because
BronzeTC is a cut down version of the TrueCtrl library. Similarly BronzeTD is a
reduced set of dialog boxes from the TrueDial library.
Demonstration programs featuring the objects in BronzeTC can be found in the
Tbdemos folder.
To use these features correctly you will need to refer to the BronzeTC manual which is
located in the documents folder. This manual also contains details of BronzeTD dialog
boxes.
