al_get_text_dimensions
void al_get_text_dimensions(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f,
char const *text,
int *bbx, int *bby, int *bbw, int *bbh)
Sometimes, the al_get_text_width and al_get_font_line_height functions are not enough for exact text placement, so this function returns some additional information.
Returned variables (all in pixel):
- 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.
