IfcTextStyleForDefinedFont

Definition from ISO/CD 10303-46:1992: A text style for defined font is a character glyph style for pre-defined or externally defined text fonts.

Definition from CSS1 (W3C Recommendation): These properties describe the color (often called foreground color) and background of an element (i.e. the surface onto which the content is rendered). One can set a background color.

NOTE   The CSS1 definition allows also for a background image. This has not been incorporated into IFC.

Definition from IAI: The IfcTextStyleForDefinedFont combines the text font color with an optional background color, that fills the text box, defined by the planar extent given to the text literal.

NOTE  Corresponding STEP name: text_style_for_defined_font. Please refer to ISO/IS 10303-46:1994, p.122 for the final definition of the formal standard. The attribute BackgroundColour has been added.
NOTE  Corresponding CSS1 definitions are Color and background properties (color, background-color).
