character-format

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: window &optional scratch-character-format

The function returns a character-format instance representing the character format of the character just before the current text cursor position in window. If scratch-character-format is supplied, it should be a character-format instance which is then filled in and returned. Note that using scratch-character-format avoids consing a new character-format instance.

The setf function sets the character formatting of the currently selected text of window to reflect character-format, which should be a character-format instance.
