💖 S3D_STRLEN(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the s3d Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet, but it's a lowkey essential little vibe check for your text rendering, fr fr 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

s3d_strlen — get rendered string size 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <s3d.h>

float s3d_strlen(const char *str);

like, that's it. one function, one string, one float coming back at you 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — s3d_strlen returns the length of the string if it were rendered with the currently selected font. not the number of characters, bestie, the actual rendered size. it's giving "how much space will this text take up" energy 👑

and why do you care? because it's genuinely useful to estimate the size used for a text, so you can render the background or the bounding box before you insert the text itself. like, draw the cute lil box first, then the words go in. main character planning behavior, honestly 💅✨

no cap: the font that matters here is whatever font is currently selected at the moment you call it. change the font, the answer changes too 🙈
