S3D_DRAW_STRING(3)

💖 S3D_DRAW_STRING 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the s3d manual, page S3D_DRAW_STRING(3) — yes it's a whole section 3 function page, we're in library land now 👑

✨ NAME ✨

s3d_draw_string — draw a simple string 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <s3d.h>

int s3d_draw_string(const char *str, float *xlen);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically it renders the string str in Truetype format with the height 1, and then it hands you back the length of the rendered string in *xlen — or, if you literally do not care, set len=NULL to disable that whole thing 🙈

here's the vibe, fr fr:

char str="hello world!";
float len;
s3d_select_font("vera");
s3d_draw_string(str, len);

// not interested in the length? do that: s3d_draw_string(str, NULL);

not me writing a whole string and then passing NULL because I only wanted the pixels, not the receipts 💅
