"FontChooser"

The functionality provided by GUIKit has been superseded by the interface construction and controls functions native to the built-in Wolfram Language.

Widget["FontChooser"]

provides a panel for making a font selection based on a name, style, and size.

Details

  • To use Widget["FontChooser"], you first need to load GUIKit using Needs["GUIKit`"].
  • An instance of Widget["FontChooser"] can be placed within any user-interface definition, and you can bind to the chooser's "selectionModel" to be notified whenever the currently selected font changes.
  • The following properties are available:
  • "selectionModel"DefaultFontSelectionModelmodel that intercedes selection operations between the user interface and the data
