glutStrokeWidth(3)                 freeglut                 glutStrokeWidth(3)

NAME
       glutStrokeWidthf, glutStrokeWidth - returns the width of a stroke
       character.
       glutStrokeLengthf, glutStrokeLength - returns the length of a stroke
       font string.

SYNTAX

       float glutStrokeWidthf(void *font, int character);
       float glutStrokeLengthf(void *font, const unsigned char *string);

       Deprecated interfaces
       int glutStrokeWidth(void *font, int character);
       int glutStrokeLength(void *font, const unsigned char *string);

ARGUMENTS
       font      Stroke font to use.  For valid values, see the
                 glutStrokeWidth description.

       character Character to return width of (not confined to 8 bits).

       string    Text string (8-bit characters), nul terminated.

DESCRIPTION
       glutStrokeWidthf returns the width in modeling units of a stroke
       character in a supported stroke font. While the width of characters in
       a font may vary (though fixed width fonts do not vary), the maximum
       height characteristics of a particular font are fixed.

       glutStrokeLengthf returns the length in modeling units of a string
       (8-bit characters).  This length is equivalent to summing all the
       widths returned by glutStrokeWidthf for each character in the string.

BUGS
       The deprecated glutStrokeWidth and glutStrokeLength routines return an
       integer rather than a float.  Newer GLUT programs should use the newer
       float-returning iroutine glutStrokeWidthf and glutStrokeLengthf.  Note
       that these newer float routines do not exist in implementations prior
       to GLUT 3.8.  Also, the glutStrokeLength routine summed integerized
       character widths so it underestimated the length of strings prior to
       GLUT 3.8, but the implementation of glutStrokeLength in GLUT 3.8 and
       beyond sums the character widths for the strings in a float (though
       glutStrokeLength still returns an integer).
