TTF_GlyphMetrics32(3) SDL_ttf3 FUNCTIONS TTF_GlyphMetrics32(3)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"
int 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

the font to query.
the character code to check.

AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
