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.
