result = cgDefCharSize( [/ADJUSTSIZE] [, FONT=integer])

Defines a default character size for Coyote Graphics routines (cgPlot, cgContour, etc.) IF !P.Charsize is set, the function simply returns !P.Charsize.

Keywords

ADJUSTSIZE in optional type=boolean default=0

If this keyword is set, the output character size is adjusted to fit the size of the output graphics window. No adjustment is ever done in PostScript. Applies only when !P.Charsize=0.

FONT in optional type=integer default=!P.Font

The font type: -1 = Hershey, 0 = hardware, 1 = true-type.
