glutBitmapWidth - returns the width of a bitmap character,
       glutBitmapLength returns  the  length  of  a  bitmap  font
       string.

SYNTAX

       int glutBitmapWidth(void *font, int character)
       int glutBitmapLength(void *font, const unsigned char *string)

ARGUMENTS

       font      Bitmap  font  to use.  For valid values, see the
                 glutBitmapCharacter description.

       character Character to return width of (not confined to  8
                 bits).

       string    Text  string (8-bit characters), nul terminated.

DESCRIPTION

       glutBitmapWidth returns the width in pixels  of  a  bitmap
       character  in  a supported bitmap font. While the width of
       characters in a font may vary (though fixed width fonts do
       not vary), the maximum height characteristics of a partic-
       ular font are fixed.

       glutBitmapLength returns the length in pixels of a  string
       (8-bit  characters).  This length is equivalent to summing
       all the widths returned by glutBitmapWidth for each  char-
       acter in the string.
