SYNOPSIS

10       #include <vgagl.h>

DESCRIPTION

17       gl_write  writes  the zero terminated string s to position (x, y) using
18       the currently selected font.
19
20       gl_writen works similarly, but writes exactly n characters, thus allow‐
21       ing to use the character 0.
22
23       The kind of text draw operation is set with gl_setwritemode(3).
24
25       BEWARE!   Prior  to the of use of gl_write(3) and gl_writen(3) you must
26       set a font.
27
28       A good default initialization sequence is:
29
30       gl_setfont(8, 8, gl_font8x8);
31       gl_setwritemode(FONT_COMPRESSED + WRITEMODE_OVERWRITE);
32       gl_setfontcolors(0, vga_white());
