SSW top-level constant

String const SSW

Set Space Width.

Representation: CSI n \x20 \x5B

No parameter default value.

SSW is used to establish for subsequent text the character escapement associated with the character SPACE. The established escapement remains in effect until the next occurrence of SSW in the data stream or until it is reset to the default value by a subsequent occurrence of CARRIAGE RETURN/LINE FEED (CR/LF), CARRIAGE RETURN/FORM FEED (CR/FF), or of NEXT LINE (NEL) in the data stream.

n specifies the escapement.

The unit in which the parameter value is expressed is that established by the parameter value of SELECT SIZE UNIT (SSU).

The default character escapement of SPACE is specified by the most recent occurrence of SET CHARACTER SPACING (SCS) or of SELECT CHARACTER SPACING (SHS) or of SELECT SPACING INCREMENT (SPI) in the data stream if the current font has constant spacing, or is specified by the nominal width of the character SPACE in the current font if that font has proportional spacing.

Implementation

const String SSW = ' [';
