Changes the default global font.
Argument: <font>
Description: font type designation
Options: {GREEK | GR} (Greek), {ITALIC | IT} (Italic),
{OLDENGLISH | OE} (Old English), {ROMAN | RM} (Roman),
{TINY | TI} (Tiny)
Default: ROMAN
This command affects all drawing areas.
The <text> argument of the commands LABEL, XLABEL, YLABEL,
ZLABEL, and TITLE may contain TeX syntax for
formatting text and
creating mathematical expressions. This TeX syntax may include mixed
font settings, as shown in one of the EXAMPLES.
CIAO allows some plot attributes to be changed using the
ChIPS state object and resource file. See "ahelp
chips" for further details.
chips> CURVE data/example.dat
chips> XLABEL "X-axis"
chips> YLABEL "Y-axis"
chips> TITLE "Title"
chips> LABEL 2.0 2.5 "Plot label"
chips> XLABEL SIZE 2.0
chips> YLABEL SIZE 2.0
chips> TITLE SIZE 2.0
chips> LABEL SIZE 2.0
chips> FONT GR
chips> FONT RM
After creating a plot and adding labels and a title, the global font
is changed first to Greek. The final command changes the global font
back to the default Roman. The following commands are equivalent when
changing fonts:
chips> FONT GREEK
chips> FONT ROMAN
chips> D 1 LABEL 2.0 50.0 "\oe This \rm is \gr Greek"
This LABEL command utilizes TeX syntax in order to achieve mixed font
settings in the same plot. The command produces a label where
"This" is in Old English font, "is" is in Roman
font, and "Greek" is in the Greek font.
