GetDefaultFont

GetDefaultFont (winName)​

The GetDefaultFont function returns a string containing the name of the default font for the named window or subwindow.

Parameters​

If winName is null (that is, "") returns the default font for the experiment.

When identifying a subwindow with winName, see Subwindow Syntax for details on forming the window hierarchy.

Details​

Only graph windows and the experiment as a whole have default fonts. If winName is the name of a window other than a graph (e.g., a layout), or if winName is not the name of any window, GetDefaultFont returns the experiment default font.

In user-defined functions font names are usually evaluated at compile time. To use the output of GetDefaultFont in a user-defined function, you will usually need to build a command as a string expression and execute it with the Execute operation.

Examples​

String fontName = GetDefaultFont("Graph0")

String command= "SetDrawEnv fname=\"" + fontName + "\", save"

Execute command
