glutBitmapWidth3
Returns the width of a bitmap character. glutbitmaplength returns the length of a bitmap font string.
Usage
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 glutBitmapCharacter description. |
|---|---|
character
|
Character to return width of (not confined to 8 bits). |
string

Overview
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 characteristics of a particular font are fixed.
glutBitmapLength returns the length in pixels of a string (8-bit characters). This length is equivalent to summing all the widths returned by glutBitmapWidth for each character in the string.
