SYNTAX


        
    

    
        
            

int glutStrokeWidth(void *font, int character); int glutStrokeLength(void *font, const unsigned char *string);

ARGUMENTS

font

Stroke font to use. For valid values, see the glutStrokeWidth description.

character

Character to return width of (not confined to 8 bits).

string

Text string (8-bit characters), nul terminated.

DESCRIPTION

glutStrokeWidth returns the width in modeling units of a stroke character in a supported stroke 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.

glutStrokeLength returns the length in modeling units of a string (8-bit characters). This length is equivalent to summing all the widths returned by glutStrokeWidth for each character in the string.
