glutBitmapWidth(3GLUT)						       GLUT						    glutBitmapWidth(3GLUT)

NAME

       glutBitmapWidth - returns the width of a bitmap character, glutBitmapLength returns the length of a bitmap font string.

SYNTAX

       #include <GLUT/glut.h>

       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	 Text string (8-bit characters), nul terminated.

DESCRIPTION

       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.

NAME

       glutBitmapCharacter - renders a bitmap character using OpenGL.

SYNTAX

       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]);
	   }
	 }
