SYNOPSIS

In openglut.h Ft void Fn glutBitmapCharacter void *font int character

PARAMETERS

Bf Em
font Ef
A bitmapped font identifier.

Bf Em
character Ef

DESCRIPTION

Draw a Bf Sy
character Ef
at the current OpenGL raster position using a bitmapped Bf Sy
font. Ef
The raster position is advanced by the width of the character.

Nothing is drawn, and the raster position is unaffected when either:
- Bf Sy
character Ef
is out of range
- Bf Sy
font Ef
is not a valid OpenGLUT bitmap font
- The current OpenGL raster position is invalid

CAVEATS

glutBitmapString() is generally more efficient for strings of characters.
