al_get_text_dimensions(3)al_get_text_dimensions(3)NAMEal_get_text_dimensions - Allegro 5 API
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>
void al_get_text_dimensions(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f,
char const *text,
int *bbx, int *bby, int *bbw, int *bbh)
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes, the al_get_text_width(3) and al_get_font_line_height(3)
functions are not enough for exact text placement, so this function
returns some additional information.
Returned variables (all in pixel):
· x, y - Offset to upper left corner of bounding box.
· w, h - Dimensions of bounding box.
Note that glyphs may go to the left and upwards of the X, in which case
x and y will have negative values.
