al_get_text_dimensions(3)  Library Functions Manual  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 re-
       turns some additional information.

       Returned	variables (all in pixels):

       • x, y -	Offset to upper	left corner of bounding	box.

       • 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.

SEE ALSO
       al_get_text_width(3),  al_get_font_line_height(3),   al_get_ustr_dimen-
       sions(3)
