NAME¶
glutBitmapString —
Draw a string of bitmapped characters
LIBRARY¶
OpenGLUT - bitmapfont
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
<openglut.h>
void
glutBitmapString(void
*font, const unsigned
char *string);
PARAMETERS¶
font
A bitmapped font identifier.
string
A NUL-terminated ASCII string.
DESCRIPTION¶
Draw a
string
the current OpenGL raster position using a bitmapped
font.
The raster position is advanced by the width of the string.
The starting raster position is used as the left margin for multi-line strings. Each newline character repositions the raster position at the beginning of the next line.
Nothing is drawn, and the raster position is unaffected when
either:
-
font
is not a valid OpenGLUT bitmap font
-
string
is an empty string or NULL pointer
- The current OpenGL raster position is invalid
