       TTF_GetGlyphMetrics - Query the metrics (dimensions) of a font's glyph for a UNICODE codepoint.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"

       bool TTF_GetGlyphMetrics(TTF_Font *font, Uint32 ch, int *minx, int *maxx, int *miny, int *maxy, int *advance);

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       font   the font to query.

       ch     the codepoint to check.

       minx   a  pointer filled in with the minimum x coordinate of the glyph from the left edge of its bounding
              box. This value may be negative.

       maxx   a pointer filled in with the maximum x coordinate of the glyph from the left edge of its  bounding
              box.

       miny   a  pointer  filled  in  with  the  minimum  y  coordinate of the glyph from the bottom edge of its
              bounding box. This value may be negative.

       maxy   a pointer filled in with the maximum y coordinate of  the  glyph  from  the  bottom  edge  of  its
              bounding box.

       advance
              a  pointer  filled  in  with  the  distance  to  the next glyph from the left edge of this glyph's
              bounding box.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

THREAD SAFETY

       This function should be called on the thread that created the font.
