glutstrokeheight(3) - Linux man page

Name

glutStrokeHeight - Returns the height of a given font.

Library

OpenGLUT - fonts

Synopsis

#include <openglut.h>

GLfloat

glutStrokeHeight(void *fontID);

Parameters

fontID A GLUT stroked font identifier.

Description

This function reports the height of a font, given by fontID, as a global characteristic of that font.

Returns 0 if fontID is invalid.

Caveats

Does not report the height used by individual characters. This may limit its usefulness; perhaps we should change it? (And/or add a new function.)

Todo

We have discussed adding a "font descender" query. We should go ahead and do it.
