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).

> HISTORY New entity in Release IFC2x Edition 3.
> IFC2x Edition 3 CHANGE The IfcTextStyleForDefinedFont has been added and replaces IfcColour at the IfcCharacterStyleSelect.
