glutBitmapCharacter(3GLUT)	     GLUT	    glutBitmapCharacter(3GLUT)

NAME
       glutBitmapCharacter - 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 renders the char-
       acter 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-normal--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-normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_10
	       A 10-point proportional spaced Times Roman font.	The exact bit-
	       maps  to	be used	is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for
	       the X font named:

	       -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-54-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24
	       A 24-point proportional spaced Times Roman font.	The exact bit-
	       maps  to	be used	is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for
	       the X font named:

	       -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-p-124-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10
	       A 10-point proportional spaced Helvetica	font. The  exact  bit-
	       maps  to	be used	is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for
	       the X font named:

	       -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12
	       A 12-point proportional spaced Helvetica	font. The  exact  bit-
	       maps  to	be used	is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for
	       the X font named:

	       -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1

       GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18
	       A 18-point proportional spaced Helvetica	font. The  exact  bit-
	       maps  to	be used	is defined by the standard X glyph bitmaps for
	       the X font named:

	       -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-98-iso8859-1

       Rendering a nonexistent character has no	 effect.   glutBitmapCharacter
       automatically  sets  the	OpenGL unpack pixel storage modes it needs ap-
       propriately and saves and restores the previous modes before returning.
       The  generated call to glBitmap will adjust the current raster position
       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]);
	   }
	 }
