GLUTSTROKECHARACTER(3)

💖 glutStrokeCharacter 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the OpenGLUT font corner of the manual, section 3, fonts division ✨ this one's called glutStrokeCharacter and it does exactly one iconic little thing: it draws a stroked character. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 LIBRARY 🌸

OpenGLUT - fonts 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutStrokeCharacter(void *fontID, int character);

---

🫶 PARAMETERS 🫶

• fontID — a GLUT stroked font identifier, like the little name tag that tells the function which font is coming to the party 💅
• character — an ASCII character that is not NUL. like, any character, just not that one. 🙈

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: this function draws one single character from one single stroked font (which one? the one you picked with fontID, obvi) and it draws it using OpenGL GL_LINE_STRIP. ✨

these characters get drawn right at the origin in model space. and then — plot twist — at the end, the model space origin gets translated, based on how wide character is in fontID. so it's giving "draw here, then scoot over." 🎀

and when does it do absolutely nothing? (yes, that's a real possibility, no cap 😭)

• if the fontID is invalid 💀
• if the character is out of the font's range 💀

fr fr, if either of those is true, this function is just standing there. no drawing. no translating. nothing. it's not mad, it's just not participating. 🧚
