SYNOPSIS

In openglut.h Ft void Fn glutBitmapString void *font const unsigned char *string

PARAMETERS

Bf Em
font Ef
A bitmapped font identifier.

Bf Em
string Ef
A NUL-terminated ASCII string.

DESCRIPTION

Draw a Bf Sy
string Ef
the current OpenGL raster position using a bitmapped Bf Sy
font. Ef
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:
- Bf Sy
font Ef
is not a valid OpenGLUT bitmap font
- Bf Sy
string Ef
is an empty string or NULL pointer
- The current OpenGL raster position is invalid
