SYNOPSIS

9              #include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>
10
11              void al_get_text_dimensions(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f,
12                 char const *text,
13                 int *bbx, int *bby, int *bbw, int *bbh)

DESCRIPTION

16       Sometimes,   the  al_get_text_width(3)  and  al_get_font_line_height(3)
17       functions are not enough for exact text  placement,  so  this  function
18       returns some additional information.
19
20       Returned variables (all in pixels):
21
22       · x, y - Offset to upper left corner of bounding box.
23
24       · w, h - Dimensions of bounding box.
25
26       Note that glyphs may go to the left and upwards of the X, in which case
27       x and y will have negative values.
