GLUTBITMAPWIDTH(3)               Local Manual               GLUTBITMAPWIDTH(3)

NAME
     glutBitmapWidth -- Return the width of a bitmapped character, in pixels.

LIBRARY
     OpenGLUT - bitmapfont

SYNOPSIS
     #include <openglut.h>

     int
     glutBitmapWidth(void *font, int character);

PARAMETERS
      font       A bitmapped font identifier.

      character  A character code.

DESCRIPTION
     Returns the horizontal OpenGL raster position offset for a  character  in
     a bitmapped  font.

     It is also an upper bound on the width of the bitmapped glyph for  char-
     acter,  though not all letters will use their full width, especially
     fixed-width fonts.

     Returns 0 if the  character  is out of the inclusive range [0,255] or if
     the  font  is invalid.

CAVEATS
     In GLUT, some glyphs could render to the left of the starting position,
     in some fonts.  OpenGLUT's fonts all position all of their glyphs to
     start at, or to the right of, the initial position.
