Description

This function designed to work with the xset function is also obsolete. Use the property editor ged instead.

getfont opens a graphic window to select a font. User has to select a font and a size clicking on the corresponding displayed character. Killing a keyboard key changes the displayed character.

Examples

[fId,fSize]=getfont();
xset("font",fId,fSize)
plot2d(0,0,rect=[0 0 10 10],axesflag=0)
xstring(5,5,"string")
