GLUTBITMAPSTRING(3)

NAME
glutBitmapString - Draw a string of bitmapped characters

LIBRARY
OpenGLUT - bitmapfont

SYNOPSIS
#include <openglut.h>
void
glutBitmapString(void *font, const unsigned char *string);

PARAMETERS

font A bitmapped font identifier.

string A NUL-terminated ASCII string.

DESCRIPTION
Draw a string the current OpenGL raster position using a bitmapped font. The raster position is advanced by the width of the string.

The starting raster position is used as the left margin for multi-line strings. Each newline character repositions the raster position at the beginning of the next line.

Nothing is drawn, and the raster position is unaffected when either: - font is not a valid OpenGLUT bitmap font - string is an empty string or NULL pointer - The current OpenGL raster position is invalid
