10.3 glutStrokeCharacter

  glutStrokeCharacter renders a stroke character using OpenGL.

Usage

void glutStrokeCharacter(void *font, int character);

font

Stroke font to use.

character

Character to render (not confined to 8 bits).

Description

Without using any display lists, glutStrokeCharacter renders the character in the named stroke font. The available fonts are:

GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN

A proportionally spaced Roman Simplex font for ASCII characters 32 through 127. The maximum top character in the font is 119.05 units; the bottom descends 33.33 units.

GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN

A mono-spaced spaced Roman Simplex font (same characters as GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN) for ASCII characters 32 through 127. The maximum top character in the font is 119.05 units; the bottom descends 33.33 units. Each character is 104.76 units wide.

Rendering a nonexistent character has no effect. A glTranslatef is used to translate the current model view matrix to advance the width of the character.
