glutBitmapCharacter(3GLUT) GLUT glutBitmapCharacter(3GLUT)NAMEglutBitmapCharacter - renders a bitmap character using
OpenGL.
SYNTAX
void glutBitmapCharacter(void *font, int character);
ARGUMENTS
font Bitmap font to use.
character Character to render (not confined to 8 bits).
DESCRIPTION
Without using any display lists, glutBitmapCharacter ren
ders the character in the named bitmap font. The available
fonts are:
GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13
A fixed width font with every character fitting in
an 8 by 13 pixel rectangle. The exact bitmaps to
be used is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps
for the X font named:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-nor
mal--13-120-75-75-C-80-iso8859-1
GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15
A fixed width font with every character fitting in
an 9 by 15 pixel rectangle. The exact bitmaps to
be used is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps
for the X font named:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-nor
mal--15-140-75-75-C-90-iso8859-1
GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_10
A 10-point proportional spaced Times Roman font.
The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the
standard X glyph bitmaps for the X font named:
-adobe-times-medium-r-nor
mal--10-100-75-75-p-54-iso8859-1
GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24
A 24-point proportional spaced Times Roman font.
The exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the
standard X glyph bitmaps for the X font named:
-adobe-times-medium-r-nor
mal--24-240-75-75-p-124-iso8859-1

GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10
A 10-point proportional spaced Helvetica font. The
exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the stan
dard X glyph bitmaps for the X font named:
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-nor
mal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-1
GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12
A 12-point proportional spaced Helvetica font. The
exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the stan
dard X glyph bitmaps for the X font named:
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-nor
mal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1
GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18
A 18-point proportional spaced Helvetica font. The
exact bitmaps to be used is defined by the stan
dard X glyph bitmaps for the X font named:
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-nor
mal--18-180-75-75-p-98-iso8859-1
Rendering a nonexistent character has no effect. glut
BitmapCharacter automatically sets the OpenGL unpack pixel
storage modes it needs appropriately and saves and
restores the previous modes before returning. The gener
ated call to glBitmap will adjust the current raster posi
tion based on the width of the character.
EXAMPLE
Here is a routine that shows how to render a string of
ASCII text with glutBitmapCharacter:
void
output(int x, int y, char *string)
{
int len, i;
glRasterPos2f(x, y);
len = (int) strlen(string);
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
glutBitmapCharacter(GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18, string[i]);
}
}
