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 character, 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.
