<h1> 2.0&nbsp;<a name="Introduction"></a>
Introduction</h1>
&nbsp;
<h1> 3.0&nbsp;<a name="Background"></a>
Background</h1>
The OpenGL programming world owes a tremendous debt to Mr. Mark J. Kilgard
for writing the OpenGL Utility Toolkit, or GLUT.&nbsp; The GLUT library
of functions allows an application programmer to create, control, and manipulate
windows independent of what operating system the program is running on.&nbsp;
By hiding the dependency on the operating system from the application programmer,
he allowed people to write truly portable OpenGL applications.
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mr. Kilgard copyrighted
his library and gave it a rather unusual license.&nbsp; Under his license,
people are allowed freely to copy and distribute the libraries and the source
code, but they are not allowed to modify it.&nbsp; For a long time this did
not matter because the GLUT library worked so well and because Mr. Kilgard
was releasing updates on a regular basis.&nbsp; But with the passage of time,
people started wanting some slightly different behaviours in their windowing
system.&nbsp; When Mr. Kilgard stopped supporting the GLUT library in 1999,
having moved on to bigger and better things, this started to become a problem.
</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In December 1999,
Mr. Pawel Olzsta started work on an open-source clone of the GLUT library.&nbsp;
This open-source clone, which does not use any of the GLUT source code, has
evolved into the present <i>freeglut</i> library.&nbsp; This documentation
specifies the application program interface to the <i>freeglut</i> library.
</p>
<h2> 3.1&nbsp; Design Philosophy</h2>
<h2> 3.2&nbsp; Conventions</h2>
<h2> 3.3&nbsp; Terminology</h2>
<h2> 3.4&nbsp; Differences from GLUT 3.7</h2>
Since the <i>freeglut</i> library was developed in order to update GLUT,
it is natural that there will be some differences between the two.&nbsp;
Each function in the API notes any differences between the GLUT and the <i>
freeglut</i> function behaviours.&nbsp; The important ones are summarized
here.
<h3> 3.4.1&nbsp; glutMainLoop Behaviour</h3>
One of the commonest complaints about the GLUT library was that once an
application called "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>", it never got control back.&nbsp;
There was no way for an application to loop in GLUT for a while, possibly
as a subloop while a specific window was open, and then return to the calling
function.&nbsp; A new function, "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>", has been added
to allow this functionality.&nbsp; Another function, "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>
", has also been added to allow the application to tell <i>freeglut</i> to clean
up and close down.
<h3> 3.4.2&nbsp; Action on Window Closure</h3>
Another difficulty with GLUT, especially with multiple-window programs,
is that if the user clicks on the "x" in the window header the application
exits immediately.&nbsp; The application programmer can now set an option,
"<tt> GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt>", to specify whether execution should
continue, whether GLUT should return control to the main program, or whether
GLUT should simply exit (the default).
<h3>3.4.3&nbsp; Changes to Callbacks<br>
</h3>
Several new callbacks have been added and several callbacks which were specific
to Silicon Graphics hardware have not been implemented.&nbsp; Most or all
of the new callbacks are listed in the GLUT Version 4 "glut.h" header file
but did not make it into the documentation.&nbsp; The new callbacks consist
of regular and special key release callbacks, a joystick callback, a window
status callback, window closure callbacks, a menu closure callback, and a
mouse wheel callback.&nbsp; Unsupported callbacks are the three Spaceball
callbacks, the ButtonBox callback, and the two Tablet
callbacks.&nbsp; If the user has a need for an unsupported callback he should
contact the <i>freeglut</i> development team.<br>
<h3>3.4.4&nbsp; String Rendering<br>
</h3>
New functions have been added to render full character strings (including
carriage returns) rather than rendering one character at a time.&nbsp; More
functions return the widths of character strings and the font heights, in
pixels for bitmapped fonts and in OpenGL units for the stroke fonts.<br>
<h3>3.4.5&nbsp; Geometry Rendering<br>
</h3>
Functions have been added to render a wireframe and a solid rhombic
dodecahedron, a cylinder, and a Sierpinski sponge.
<h3> 3.4.5&nbsp; Extension Function Queries</h3>
glutGetProcAddress is a wrapper for the glXGetProcAddressARB and wglGetProcAddress
functions.
<h1> 4.0&nbsp;<a name="Initialization"></a>
Initialization Functions</h1>
<h2> 4.1&nbsp; glutInit</h2>
<h2> 4.2&nbsp; glutInitWindowPosition, glutInitWindowSize</h2>
The "<tt>glutInitWindowPosition</tt> " and "<tt>glutInitWindowSize</tt>
" functions specify a desired position and size for windows that <i>freeglut</i>
will create in the future.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutInitWindowPosition ( int
x, int y ) ;</tt> <br>
<tt>void glutInitWindowSize ( int width,
int height ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutInitWindowPosition</tt>
" and "<tt>glutInitWindowSize</tt>" functions specify a desired position
and size for windows that <i>freeglut</i> will create in the future.&nbsp;
The position is measured in pixels from the upper left hand corner of the
screen, with "x" increasing to the right and "y" increasing towards the bottom
of the screen.&nbsp; The size is measured in pixels.&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i>
does not promise to follow these specifications in creating its windows,
it certainly makes an attempt to. </p>
<p>The position and size of a window are
a matter of some subtlety.&nbsp; Most windows have a usable area surrounded
by a border and with a title bar on the top.&nbsp; The border and title bar
are commonly called "decorations."&nbsp; The position of the window unfortunately
varies with the operating system.&nbsp; On Linux, it is the coordinates of
the upper left-hand corner of its decorations.&nbsp; On Windows, it is the
coordinates of the upper left hand corner of its usable interior.&nbsp; For
both operating systems, the size of the window is the size of the usable interior.
</p>
<p>Windows has some additional quirks which
the application programmer should know about.&nbsp; First, the minimum y-coordinate
of a window decoration is zero.&nbsp; (This is a feature of <i>freeglut</i>
and can be adjusted if so desired.)&nbsp; Second, there appears to be a
minimum window width on Windows which is 104 pixels.&nbsp; The user may specify
a smaller width, but the Windows system calls ignore it.&nbsp; It is also
impossible to make a window narrower than this by dragging on its corner.
</p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>For some reason, GLUT is not affected
by the 104-pixel minimum window width.&nbsp; If the user clicks on the corner
of a window which is narrower than this amount, the window will immediately
snap out to this width, but the application can call "<tt>glutReshapeWindow</tt>
" and make a window narrower again. </p>
<h2> 4.3&nbsp; glutInitDisplayMode</h2>
<h2> 4.4&nbsp; glutInitDisplayString</h2>
<h1> 5.0&nbsp;<a name="EventProcessing"></a>
Event Processing Functions</h1>
After an application has finished initializing its windows and menus, it
enters an event loop.&nbsp; Within this loop, <i>freeglut</i> polls the
data entry devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) and calls the application's appropriate
callbacks.
<p>In GLUT, control never returned from
the event loop (as invoked by the "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" function) to the
calling function.&nbsp; This prevented an application from having re-entrant
code, in which GLUT could be invoked from within a callback, and it prevented
the application from doing any post-processing (such as freeing allocated
memory) after GLUT had closed down.&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i> allows the application
programmer to specify more direct control over the event loop by means of
two new functions.&nbsp; The first, "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>", processes
a single iteration of the event loop and allows the application to use a different
event loop controller or to contain re-entrant code.&nbsp; The second, "<tt>
glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>", causes the event loop to exit nicely; this is preferable
to the application's calling "<tt>exit</tt>" from within a GLUT callback.
</p>
<h2> 5.1&nbsp; glutMainLoop</h2>
The "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" function enters the event loop.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutMainLoop ( void ) ;</tt>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" function
causes the program to enter the window event loop.&nbsp; An application should
call this function at most once.&nbsp; It will call any application callback
functions as required to process mouse clicks, mouse motion, key presses,
and so on. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>In GLUT, there was absolutely no way
for the application programmer to have control return from the "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>
" function to the calling function.&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i> allows the programmer
to force this by setting the "<tt>GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt>" option
and invoking the "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>" function from one of the callbacks.&nbsp;
Stopping the program this way is preferable to simply calling "<tt>exit</tt>
" from within a callback because this allows <i>freeglut</i> to free allocated
memory and otherwise clean up after itself.&nbsp; (I know I just said this,
but I think it is important enough that it bears repeating.) </p>
<h2> 5.2&nbsp; glutMainLoopEvent</h2>
The "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>" function processes a single iteration
in the <i>freeglut</i> event loop.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutMainLoopEvent ( void ) ;</tt>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>
" function causes <i>freeglut</i> to process one iteration's worth of events
in its event loop.&nbsp; This allows the application to control its own event
loop and still use the <i>freeglut</i> windowing system. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>GLUT does not include this function.
</p>
<h2> 5.3&nbsp; glutLeaveMainLoop</h2>
The "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>" function causes <i>freeglut</i> to stop
its event loop.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutLeaveMainLoop ( void ) ;</tt>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>
" function causes <i>freeglut</i> to stop the event loop.&nbsp; If the
"<tt> GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt>" option has been set to "<tt>GLUT_ACTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION</tt>
", control will return to the function which called "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>
"; otherwise the application will exit. </p>
<p>If the application has two nested calls
to "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" and calls "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>", the behaviour
of <i>freeglut</i> is undefined.&nbsp; It may leave only the inner nested
loop or it may leave both loops.&nbsp; If the reader has a strong preference
for one behaviour over the other he should contact the <i>freeglut</i> Programming
Consortium and ask for the code to be fixed. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>GLUT does not include this function.

<p><tt>void glutIdleFunc ( void (*func)

<p><tt>func&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>The new
global idle callback function </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutIdleFunc</tt>" function
specifies the function that <i>freeglut</i> will call to perform background
processing tasks such as continuous animation when window system events are
not being received.&nbsp; If enabled, this function is called continuously
from <i>freeglut</i> while no events are received.&nbsp; The callback function
has no parameters and returns no value.&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i> does not change
the <i>current window</i> or the <i>current menu</i> before invoking the idle
callback; programs with multiple windows or menus must explicitly set the
<i>current window</i> and <i>current menu</i>
and not rely on its current setting. <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The amount of computation and rendering done in an idle
callback should be minimized to avoid affecting the program's interactive
response.&nbsp; In general, no more than a single frame of rendering should
be done in a single invocation of an idle callback. <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Calling "<tt>glutIdleFunc</tt>" with a NULL argument
disables the call to an idle callback. </p>

<p>Application programmers should note that
if they have specified the "continue execution" action on window closure,
<i>freeglut</i> will continue to call the
idle callback after the user has closed a window by clicking on the "x" in
the window header bar.&nbsp; If the idle callback renders a particular window
(this is considered bad form but is frequently done anyway), the programmer
should supply a window closure callback for that window which changes or disables
the idle callback. </p>

<i>Freeglut</i> sets the <i>current window</i>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While <i>freeglut</i> checks for upper or lower case
letters, it does not do so for non-alphabetical characters.&nbsp; Nor does
it account for the Caps-Lock key being on.&nbsp; The operating system may
send some unexpected characters to <i>freeglut</i>, such as "8" when the
user is pressing the Shift key.&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i> also invokes the callback
when the user releases the Control, Alt, or Shift keys, among others.&nbsp;
Releasing the Delete key causes this function to be invoked with a value
of 127 for "<tt>key</tt>". <br>

<h1> 14.0&nbsp;<a name="FontRendering"></a>
Font Rendering Functions</h1>
<i>Freeglut</i> supports two types of font rendering:&nbsp; bitmap fonts,
which are rendered using the "<tt>glBitmap</tt>" function call, and stroke
fonts, which are rendered as sequences of OpenGL line segments.&nbsp; Because
they are rendered as bitmaps, the bitmap fonts tend to render more quickly
than stroke fonts, but they are less flexible in terms of scaling and rendering.&nbsp;
Bitmap font characters are positioned with calls to the "<tt>glRasterPos*</tt>
" functions while stroke font characters use the OpenGL transformations
to position characters.
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It should be noted
that <i>freeglut</i> fonts are similar but not identical to GLUT fonts.&nbsp;
At the moment, <i>freeglut</i> fonts do not support the "`" (backquote) and
"|" (vertical line) characters; in their place it renders asterisks. </p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i> supports
the following bitmap fonts: </p>
<ul>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13</tt> - A variable-width font with every character
fitting in a rectangle of 13 pixels high by at most 8 pixels wide.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15</tt> - A variable-width font with every character
fitting in a rectangle of 15 pixels high by at most 9 pixels wide.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_10</tt> - A 10-point variable-width Times
Roman font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24</tt> - A 24-point variable-width Times
Roman font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10</tt> - A 10-point variable-width Helvetica
font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12</tt> - A 12-point variable-width Helvetica
font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18</tt> - A 18-point variable-width Helvetica
font.</li>
</ul>
<i>Freeglut</i> calls "<tt>glRasterPos4v</tt>" to advance the cursor by
the width of a character and to render carriage returns when appropriate.&nbsp;
It does not use any display lists in it rendering in bitmap fonts.
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i> supports
the following stroke fonts: </p>
<ul>
<li> <tt>GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN</tt> - A proportionally-spaced Roman Simplex
font</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN</tt> - A fixed-width Roman Simplex font</li>
</ul>
<i>Freeglut</i> does not use any display lists in its rendering of stroke
fonts.&nbsp; It calls "<tt>glTranslatef</tt>" to advance the cursor by the
width of a character and to render carriage returns when appropriate.
<h2> 14.1&nbsp; glutBitmapCharacter</h2>
The "<tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt>" function renders a single bitmapped
character in the <i>current window</i> using the specified font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutBitmapCharacter ( void *font,
int character ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</tt>The bitmapped font to use in rendering

<tt>character&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>The ASCII
code of the character to be rendered </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt>
" function renders the given character in the specified bitmap font.&nbsp;
<i>Freeglut</i> automatically sets the necessary
pixel unpack storage modes and restores the existing modes when it has finished.&nbsp;
Before the first call to "<tt>glutBitMapCharacter</tt> " the application
program should call "<tt>glRasterPos*</tt>" to set the position of the character
in the window.&nbsp; The "<tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt> " function advances
the cursor position as part of its call to "<tt>glBitmap</tt> " and so the
application does not need to call "<tt>glRasterPos*</tt>" again for successive
characters on the same line. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>Nonexistent characters are rendered as
asterisks.&nbsp; The rendering position in <i>freeglut</i> is apparently off
from GLUT's position by a few pixels vertically and one or two pixels horizontally.
</p>
<h2> 14.2&nbsp; glutBitmapString</h2>

<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutBitmapString ( void *font,
char *string ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</tt>The bitmapped font to use in rendering
the character string <br>
<tt>string&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>String
of characters to be rendered </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutBitmapString</tt>
" function renders the given character string in the specified bitmap font.&nbsp;
<i>Freeglut</i> automatically sets the necessary
pixel unpack storage modes and restores the existing modes when it has finished.&nbsp;
Before calling "<tt>glutBitMapString</tt>" the application program should
call "<tt>glRasterPos*</tt>" to set the position of the string in the window.&nbsp;
The "<tt>glutBitmapString</tt>" function handles carriage returns.&nbsp;
Nonexistent characters are rendered as asterisks. </p>

<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>int glutBitmapWidth ( void *font,

<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</tt>The bitmapped font to use in calculating
the character width <br>
<tt>character&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>The ASCII
code of the character </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutBitmapWidth</tt>"
function returns the width of the given character in the specified bitmap
font.&nbsp; Because the font is bitmapped, the width is an exact integer.
</p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>Nonexistent characters return the width
of an asterisk. </p>
<h2> 14.4&nbsp; glutBitmapLength</h2>
The "<tt>glutBitmapLength</tt>" function returns the width in pixels of
a string of bitmapped characters in the specified font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>int glutBitmapLength ( void *font,
char *string ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>The bitmapped
font to use in calculating the character width <br>
<tt>string&nbsp; </tt>String of characters
whose width is to be calculated </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutBitmapLength</tt>
" function returns the width in pixels of the given character string in
the specified bitmap font.&nbsp; Because the font is bitmapped, the width
is an exact integer:&nbsp; the return value is identical to the sum of the
character widths returned by a series of calls to "<tt>glutBitmapWidth</tt>
".&nbsp; The width of nonexistent characters is counted to be the width of
an asterisk. </p>

<h2> 14.5&nbsp; glutBitmapHeight</h2>
The "<tt>glutBitmapHeight</tt>" function returns the height in pixels of
the specified font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>int glutBitmapHeight ( void *font
) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</tt>The bitmapped font to use in calculating
the character height </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutBitmapHeight</tt>
" function returns the height of a character in the specified bitmap font.&nbsp;
Because the font is bitmapped, the height is an exact integer.&nbsp; The fonts
are designed such that all characters have (nominally) the same height.

<h2> 14.6&nbsp; glutStrokeCharacter</h2>
The "<tt>glutStrokeCharacter</tt>" function renders a single stroke character
in the <i>current window</i> using the specified font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutStrokeCharacter ( void *font,
int character ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</tt>The stroke font to use in rendering
the character <br>
<tt>character&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>The ASCII
code of the character to be rendered </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutStrokeCharacter</tt>
" function renders the given character in the specified stroke font.&nbsp;
Before the first call to "<tt>glutStrokeCharacter</tt>" the application program
should call the OpenGL transformation (positioning and scaling) functions
to set the position of the character in the window.&nbsp; The "<tt>glutStrokeCharacter</tt>
" function advances the cursor position by a call to "<tt>glTranslatef</tt>
" and so the application does not need to call the OpenGL positioning functions
again for successive characters on the same line. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>Nonexistent characters are rendered as
asterisks. </p>
<h2> 14.7&nbsp; glutStrokeString</h2>
The "<tt>glutStrokeString</tt>" function renders a string of characters

</tt>The stroke font to use in rendering
the character string <br>
<tt>string&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>String
of characters to be rendered </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutStrokeString</tt>
" function renders the given character string in the specified stroke font.&nbsp;
Before calling "<tt>glutStrokeString</tt>" the application program should
call the OpenGL transformation (positioning and scaling) functions to set
the position of the string in the window.&nbsp; The "<tt>glutStrokeString</tt>
" function handles carriage returns.&nbsp; Nonexistent characters are rendered
as asterisks. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>GLUT does not include this function.
</p>
<h2> 14.8&nbsp; glutStrokeWidth</h2>
The "<tt>glutStrokeWidth</tt>" function returns the width in pixels of
a single character in the specified stroke font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>int glutStrokeWidth ( void *font,
int character ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</tt>The stroke font to use in calculating
the character width <br>
<tt>character&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>The ASCII
code of the character </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutStrokeWidth</tt>"
function returns the width of the given character in the specified stroke
font.&nbsp; Because the font is a stroke font, the width is actually a floating-point
number; the function rounds it to the nearest integer for the return value.
</p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>Nonexistent characters return the width
of an asterisk. </p>
<h2> 14.9&nbsp; glutStrokeLength</h2>
The "<tt>glutStrokeLength</tt>" function returns the width in pixels of
a string of characters in the specified stroke font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>int glutStrokeLength ( void *font,
char *string ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </tt>The stroke
font to use in calculating the character width <br>
<tt>string&nbsp; </tt>String of characters
whose width is to be calculated </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutStrokeLength</tt>
" function returns the width in pixels of the given character string in
the specified stroke font.&nbsp; Because the font is a stroke font, the width
of an individual character is a floating-point number.&nbsp; <i>Freeglut</i>
adds the floating-point widths and rounds the funal result to return the
integer value.&nbsp; Thus the return value may differ from the sum of the
character widths returned by a series of calls to "<tt>glutStrokeWidth</tt>
".&nbsp; The width of nonexistent characters is counted to be the width
of an asterisk. </p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the string contains
one or more carriage returns, <i>freeglut</i> calculates the widths in pixels
of the lines separately and returns the largest width. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>GLUT does not include this function.
</p>
<h2> 14.10&nbsp; glutStrokeHeight</h2>
The "<tt>glutStrokeHeight</tt>" function returns the height in pixels of
the specified font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>GLfloat glutStrokeHeight ( void *font
) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</tt>The stroke font to use in calculating
the character height </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The&nbsp; "<tt>glutStrokeHeight</tt>
" function returns the height of a character in the specified stroke font.&nbsp;
The application programmer should note that, unlike the other <i>freeglut</i>
font functions, this one returns a floating-point number.&nbsp; The fonts
are designed such that all characters have (nominally) the same height. </p>

<h1> 15.0&nbsp;<a name="GeometricObject"></a>
Geometric Object Rendering Functions</h1>
<i>Freeglut</i> includes eighteen routines for generating easily-recognizable
3-d geometric objects.&nbsp; These routines are effectively the same ones
that are included in the GLUT library, and reflect the functionality available
in the <i>aux</i> toolkit described in the <i>OpenGL Programmer's Guide</i>
.&nbsp; They are included to allow programmers to create with a single
line of code a three-dimensional object which can be used to test a variety
of OpenGL functionality.&nbsp; None of the routines generates a display list
for the object which it draws.&nbsp; The functions generate normals appropriate
for lighting but, except for the teapon functions, do not generate texture
coordinates.

<li>GLUT_FPS - specifies a time interval
(in milliseconds) for reporting framerate messages to stderr. For example,
if FREEGLUT_FPS is set to 5000, every 5 seconds a message will be printed
to stderr showing the current frame rate. The frame rate is measured by counting
the number of times glutSwapBuffers() is called over the time interval.</li>

<p>
Application programmers who are porting their GLUT programs to <i>freeglut</i> may continue
to include <tt>&lt;GL/glut.h&gt;</tt> in their programs.
Programs which use the <i>freeglut</i>-specific extensions to GLUT should include
<tt>&lt;GL/freeglut.h&gt;</tt>. One possible arrangement is as follows:
</p>
<pre>
#ifdef FREEGLUT
#include &lt;GL/freeglut_ext.h&gt;
#else
#include &lt;GL/glut.h&gt;
#endif
</pre>
<p>
Compile-time <i>freeglut</i> version testing can be done as follows:
</p>
<pre>
#ifdef FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_0
code specific to freeglut 2.0 or later here
#endif
</pre>
<p>
In future releases, FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_1, FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_2, etc will
be defined. This scheme mimics OpenGL conventions.
</p>
<p>
The <i>freeglut</i> version can be queried at runtime by calling
glutGet(GLUT_VERSION).
The result will be X*10000+Y*100+Z where X is the major version, Y is the
minor version and Z is the patch level.
</p>
<p>
This may be used as follows:
</p>
<pre>
if (glutGet(GLUT_VERSION) < 20001) {
printf("Sorry, you need freeglut version 2.0.1 or later to run this program.\n");
exit(1);
}
