Font variable

A font can be created from a Font variable.

To define the font characteristics, use:

FontCreate;
..Charset, ..Orientation, ..StrikeOut, ..Condensed, ..Color, ..Extended, ..Bold, ..Italic, ..Large, ..Underline and ..Size.

This font can be used:

To write text in drawings (dFont).
To write in charts (grLabelFont , grLegendFont , grTitleFont and grAxisTitleFont).
To print (iFont).
In the controls of a window (..Font property of controls in a window).
In the controls of a report (..Font property of controls in a report).

Name of a connection

A connection can be created by a Connection variable. The name of the connection corresponds to the name of the variable.

If a connection with the same name already exists (in the analysis or described beforehand), the name of the connection is defined by the HFSQL engine that adds a suffix (a number) to the name of the variable.

In this case, ..Name is used to find out the name of the connection defined by the HFSQL engine.
