Function detail


void clearConsole();
Erases the contents of the console window.

Usage:

clearConsole();

void setConsoleFont(const string & font);
Changes the font used for the console. The font parameter is typically a string in the form family-style-size. In this string, family is the name of the font family; style is either missing (indicating a plain font) or one of the strings Bold, Italic, or BoldItalic; and size is an integer indicating the point size. If any of these components is specified as an asterisk, the existing value is retained. The font parameter can also be a sequence of such specifications separated by semicolons, in which case the first available font on the system is used.

Usage:

setConsoleFont(font);

void setConsoleSize(double width, double height);
Changes the size of the console to the specified dimensions, measured in pixels.

Usage:

setConsoleSize(width, height);
