NAME

       al_draw_glyph - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

              void al_draw_glyph(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f, ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x, float y,
                 int codepoint)

DESCRIPTION

       Draws  the  glyph that corresponds with codepoint in the given color using the given font.
       If font does not have such a glyph, nothing will be drawn.

       To  draw  a  string  as  left  to  right  horizontal   text   you   will   need   to   use
       al_get_glyph_advance(3alleg5)  to  determine  the  position  of  each  glyph.  For drawing
       strings in other directions, such as top to down, use al_get_glyph_dimensions(3alleg5)  to
       determine the size and position of each glyph.

       If you have to draw many glyphs at the same time, use al_hold_bitmap_drawing(3alleg5) with
       true   as   the   parameter,    before    drawing    the    glyphs,    and    then    call
       al_hold_bitmap_drawing(3alleg5)  again  with  false  as  a parameter when done drawing the
       glyphs to further enhance performance.
