NAME

     glutStrokeWidth -- Returns the width in pixels of a character in a given font.

LIBRARY

     OpenGLUT - fonts

SYNOPSIS

     #include <openglut.h>

     float
     glutStrokeWidth(void *fontID, int character);

PARAMETERS

      fontID	 A GLUT stroked font identifier.

      character  A character code.

DESCRIPTION

     This function reports how far the model space origin will advance if you putput this  character  in the font named by  fontID.   Not all let-
     ters will use their full width, especially in fixed-width fonts.

     Returns 0 if  character  is out of range or if the  fontID  is invalid.

CAVEATS

     Historically, this function has been described as returning a pixel-width, but was implemented to return the width in model-space units,
     rounded to integers. GLUT never resolved this, and freeglut duplicated the confusion. OpenGLUT has decided to stay in model-space and to
     return the unrounded floating point value. An unreleased GLUT 3.8 was supposed to include glutStrokeWidthf() and glutStrokeLengthf() (note
     the *f suffixes), but that is not in wide use.

TODO

     Determine if any glyphs are either wider than this function or if they render outside of the bounding box given by  (0,-descent)	by
     (width,height-descent)  .
