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 particular 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 character in the string.
