al_get_text_dimensions(3)                            al_get_text_dimensions(3)

NAME

al_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): o x, y - Offset to upper left corner of bounding box. o 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.
