.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

void al_get_text_dimensions(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f,
   char const *text,

\f[R]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Sometimes, the al_get_text_width(3alleg5) and
al_get_font_line_height(3alleg5) functions are not enough for exact text
placement, so this function returns some additional information.
.PP
Returned variables (all in pixels):
.IP \[bu] 2
x, y - Offset to upper left corner of bounding box.
.IP \[bu] 2
w, h - Dimensions of bounding box.
.PP
Note that glyphs may go to the left and upwards of the X, in which case
x and y will have negative values.
