glutBitmapWidth(3GLUT)               GLUT               glutBitmapWidth(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutBitmapWidth  -  returns  the  width  of  a  bitmap character, glut-
       BitmapLength returns the length of a bitmap font string.

SYNTAX
       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  glut-
                 BitmapCharacter 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 characteris-
       tics of a particular font are fixed.

       glutBitmapLength returns the length in pixels of a string (8-bit  char-
       acters).   This length is equivalent to summing all the widths returned
       by glutBitmapWidth for each character in the string.
