P:Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.RichTextBlock.CharacterSpacing |
winrt property |
Gets or sets the uniform spacing between characters, in units of 1/1000 of an em.
<RichTextBlock CharacterSpacing="int"/>The uniform spacing between characters, in units of 1/1000 of an em. The default is 0. Positive values increase tracking and loosen character spacing. Negative values decrease tracking and tighten the character spacing.
Tracking is the typographic term for an amount of space added or removed between all pairs of characters in a portion of text. This feature can be accessed through the CharacterSpacing property on TextBlock and RichTextBlock. CharacterSpacing is measured in 1/1000 of an "em". One "em" is equivalent to the current font size of the control. For example, an additional 14 pixels will be inserted between each character in a text control with FontSize="14" and CharacterSpacing="1000".
To see an example, see scenario 1, "Tracking (character spacing)", of the XAML text display sample.
