glutstrokestring(3) - Linux man page

Name

glutStrokeString - Draw a string of stroked characters.

Library

OpenGLUT - fonts

Synopsis

#include <openglut.h>

void

glutStrokeString(void *fontID, const unsigned char *string);

Parameters

fontID A GLUT stroked font identifier.

string A NUL-terminated ASCII string.

Description

This function draws a string in the font indicated by fontID. It is almost equivalent to calling glutStrokeCharacter() on each character in the string, successively. Mostly, it is a convenience function to hide the loop, and to treat \n as a special symbol rather than a normal glyph.

The first character displays at the current model space origin, The origin changes by successive translations.

The newline character, \n (ASCII LF) is treated as a newline and resets the origin horizontally while advancing the line 1 font-height down the y-axis.

Does nothing if: - fontID is out of range. - string is NULL - string is empty

Unlike glutBitmapString(), there is little performance advantage to using glutStrokeString() as compared with calling glutStrokeCharacter() yourself for every character.
