NAME¶
gl_write, gl_writen - write a text string
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <vgagl.h>
void gl_write(int x, int y, char
*s);
void gl_writen(int x, int y, int n
,char *s);
DESCRIPTION¶
gl_write writes the zero terminated string
s to position
(
x,
y) using the currently selected font.
gl_writen works similarly, but writes exactly
n characters, thus
allowing to use the character 0.
The kind of text draw operation is set with
gl_setwritemode(3).
BEWARE! Prior to the of use of
gl_write(3) and
gl_writen(3)
you must set a font.
A good default initialization sequence is:
gl_setfont(8, 8, gl_font8x8);
gl_setwritemode(FONT_COMPRESSED + WRITEMODE_OVERWRITE);
gl_setfontcolors(0, vga_white());
