glutBitmapWidth(3GLUT) GLUT glutBitmapWidth(3GLUT)
NAME
glutBitmapWidth - returns the width of a bitmap character, glut-
BitmapLength 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 glut-
BitmapCharacter 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 characteris-
tics of a particular font are fixed.
glutBitmapLength returns the length in pixels of a string (8-bit char-
acters). This length is equivalent to summing all the widths returned
by glutBitmapWidth for each character in the string.
