FTGL 2.1
|
||
|
|
5 December 2004

|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FTGL is a free open source library to enable developers to use arbitrary
|
||
|
|
fonts in their OpenGL (www.opengl.org) applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike other OpenGL font libraries FTGL uses standard font file formats
|
||
|
|
so doesn't need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font data
|
||
|
|
into a lesser quality, proprietary format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and 'decode'
|
||
|
|
the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format most efficient
|
||
|
|
for OpenGL rendering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rendering modes supported are:
|
||
|
|
- Bit maps
|
||
|
|
- Antialiased Pix maps
|
||
|
|
- Outlines
|
||
|
|
- Polygon meshes
|
||
|
|
- Extruded polygon meshes
|
||
|
|
- Texture maps
|
||
|
|
- Buffer maps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
USAGE:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FTGLPixmapFont font("Arial.ttf");
|
||
|
|
font.FaceSize(72);
|
||
|
|
font.Render("Hello World!");
