NAME¶

TTF_GlyphMetrics32 - Query the metrics (dimensions) of a font's 32-bit glyph.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"

SDL_bool TTF_GlyphMetrics32(TTF_Font *font, Uint32 ch,
                        int *minx, int *maxx,
                        int *miny, int *maxy, int *advance);

DESCRIPTION¶

To understand what these metrics mean, here is a useful link:

https://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step2.html

This is the same as TTF_GlyphMetrics (), but takes a 32-bit character instead of 16-bit, and thus can query a larger range. If you are sure you'll have an SDL_ttf that's version 2.0.18 or newer, there's no reason not to use this function exclusively.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

font

the font to query.

ch

the character code to check.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns SDL_TRUE on success or SDL_FALSE on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
