Name of the TrueType font file to use as default. Specify either a

filename in the default TrueType font directory (or one that can be

found by GD using its own rules), or the full pathname to a font file.

This function selects TrueType fonts as the default font type as if
|
|
|
13 |
<a class="xref" href="SetUseTTF.html" title="SetUseTTF"><span class="refentrytitle">SetUseTTF</span></a>(True) was called.
|
|
|
14 |
</p><p>
|
|
|
15 |
The supplied font name is first checked as given. If that does not work,
|
|
|
16 |
it is checked prefixed with the default TrueType font directory as set
|
|
|
17 |
with <a class="xref" href="SetTTFPath.html" title="SetTTFPath"><span class="refentrytitle">SetTTFPath</span></a>.
|
|
|
18 |
If that does not work either, a fatal error results.
|
|
|
19 |

This function resets all elements to use the named font and default sizes,
|
|
|
22 |
so it undoes all prior

23 |
<a class="xref" href="SetFont.html" title="SetFont"><span class="refentrytitle">SetFont</span></a>, <a class="xref" href="SetFontGD.html" title="SetFontGD"><span class="refentrytitle">SetFontGD</span></a>,

Change the font used by individual text elements with
|
|
|
27 |
<a class="xref" href="SetFont.html" title="SetFont"><span class="refentrytitle">SetFont</span></a>, <a class="xref" href="SetFontGD.html" title="SetFontGD"><span class="refentrytitle">SetFontGD</span></a>,

Using <code class="literal">SetDefaultTTFont(NULL)</code> or
|
|
|
31 |
<code class="literal">SetDefaultTTFont()</code> will erase the default font, then
|
|
|
32 |
set TrueType fonts as the default font type and reset all fonts. This will
|
|
|
33 |
immediately result in PHPlot using its default algorithm to locate a usable
|
|
|
34 |
TrueType font. On systems where PHPlot is unable to locate a TrueType font
|
|
|
35 |
without help, <code class="literal">SetDefaultTTFont([NULL])</code> will fail, although
|
|
|
36 |
using <a class="xref" href="SetTTFPath.html" title="SetTTFPath"><span class="refentrytitle">SetTTFPath</span></a> first may help.

|
|
|
38 |
Starting in PHPlot-6.0.0, the argument can be omitted and defaults to NULL,
|
|
|
39 |
which clears the default font. In previous versions, the argument was required.
|
|
|
40 |
</p><p>
|
|
|
41 |
Starting with PHPlot-5.1.3, TrueType fonts are validated using GD.
|
|
|
42 |
This allows GD to apply its own rules to try to locate a font file. On at
|
|
|
43 |
least some platforms, this allows fonts to be specified by filename only,
|
|
|
44 |
without having to set the PHPlot default font directory.
|
|
|
45 |
(Through PHPlot-5.1.2, the existence of the font file was checked, which
|
|
|
46 |
did not allow GD to try to find the font using its own rules.)
|
|
|
47 |
</p><p>
|
|
|
48 |
Through PHPlot-5.0.5, setting a default TrueType font with this function
|
|
|
49 |
also forced all text on the graph to use TrueType text.
|
|
|
50 |
Starting with PHPlot-5.0.6, it just sets the default font type.
|
|
|
51 |
Set <a class="xref" href="SetUseTTF.html" title="SetUseTTF"><span class="refentrytitle">SetUseTTF</span></a> for more information on this change.
|
|
|
52 |
</p><p>
|
|
|
53 |
This behavior of this function was changed significantly at PHPlot-5.0rc3.
