NAME
       glutBitmapCharacter - renders a bitmap character using OpenGL.

SYNTAX
       #include <GLUT/glut.h>

       void glutBitmapCharacter(void *font, int character);

ARGUMENTS
       font	 Bitmap font to use.

       character Character to render (not confined to 8 bits).

DESCRIPTION
       Without using any display lists, glutBitmapCharacter renders the character in the named bitmap font. The available fonts are:

       GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13
	       A fixed width font with every character fitting in an 8 by 13 pixel rectangle. The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the stan-
	       dard X glyph bitmaps for the X font named:

	       -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-80-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15
	       A fixed width font with every character fitting in an 9 by 15 pixel rectangle. The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the stan-
	       dard X glyph bitmaps for the X font named:

	       -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_10
	       A  10-point proportional spaced Times Roman font. The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for the X
	       font named:

	       -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-54-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24
	       A 24-point proportional spaced Times Roman font. The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for the  X
	       font named:

	       -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-p-124-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10
	       A  10-point  proportional  spaced Helvetica font. The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for the X
	       font named:

	       -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12
	       A 12-point proportional spaced Helvetica font. The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps  for  the  X
	       font named:

	       -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18
	       A  18-point  proportional  spaced Helvetica font. The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for the X
	       font named:

	       -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-98-iso8859-1

       Rendering a nonexistent character has no effect.  glutBitmapCharacter automatically sets the OpenGL unpack pixel  storage  modes  it  needs
       appropriately  and  saves  and  restores the previous modes before returning. The generated call to glBitmap will adjust the current raster
       position based on the width of the character.

EXAMPLE
       Here is a routine that shows how to render a string of ASCII text with glutBitmapCharacter:

	 void
	 output(int x, int y, char *string)
	 {
	   int len, i;

	   glRasterPos2f(x, y);
	   len = (int) strlen(string);
	   for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
	     glutBitmapCharacter(GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18, string[i]);
	   }
	 }
