glutbitmapwidth(3)
NAME
glutBitmapWidth - returns the width of a bitmap character,
glutBitmapLength returns the length of a bitmap font
string.
SYNTAX
- int glutBitmapWidth(void *font, int character)
int glutBitmapLength(void *font, const unsigned char - *string)
ARGUMENTS
- font Bitmap font to use. For valid values, see the
- glutBitmapCharacter description.
- character Character to return width of (not confined to 8
- bits).
- string Text string (8-bit characters), nul terminated.
DESCRIPTION
glutBitmapWidth returns the width in pixels of a bitmap
character in a supported bitmap font. While the width of
characters in a font may vary (though fixed width fonts do
not vary), the maximum height characteristics of a partic
ular font are fixed.
glutBitmapLength returns the length in pixels of a string
(8-bit characters). This length is equivalent to summing
all the widths returned by glutBitmapWidth for each char
acter in the string.
