#include <openglut.h>

void
glutBitmapCharacter(void *font, int character);

A bitmapped font identifier.

A character code.

Draw a

at the current OpenGL raster position using a bitmapped

The raster position is advanced by the width of the character.

Nothing is drawn, and the raster position is unaffected when either:
-

is out of range
-

is not a valid OpenGLUT bitmap font
- The current OpenGL raster position is invalid

glutBitmapString() is generally more efficient for strings of characters.

glRasterPos(3) glutBitmapString(3) glutBitmapWidth(3) glutBitmapHeight(3) glutStrokeCharacter(3)

glutBitmapHeight(3), glutBitmapString(3), glutBitmapWidth(3), glutStrokeCharacter(3).
