Syntax

WORD vst_arbpt( handle, point, wchar, hchar, wcell, hcell )
WORD handle;
WORD point;
WORD *wchar, *hchar, *wcell, *hcell;

Function      vst_arbpt() selects any point size for an outline font.

Opcode        246

Availability  Available only with FSMGDOS or SpeedoGDOS.

Parameters    handle specifies a valid workstation handle. point specifies
              the point size at which to render outline text. Upon return,
              the WORDs pointed to by wchar, hchar, wcell, and hcell will
              be filled in with the width and height of the character and
              the width and height of the character cell respectively.

Binding       contrl[0] = 246;
              contrl[1] = 0;
              contrl[3] = 1;
              contrl[6] = handle;

              intin[0] = point;

              vdi();

              *wchar = ptsout[0];
              *hchar = ptsout[1];
              *wcell = ptsout[2];
              *hcell = ptsout[3];

              return intout[0];

Return Value  vst_arbpt() returns the point size actually selected.

Comments      This call only works with outline fonts, however, it is not
              restricted by the point sizes listed in the 'ASSIGN.SYS'
              file. To specify a fractional point size, use vst_arbpt32().
