[PyOpenGL-Users] carriage return in text

[altern <al...@gm...>]

hi

i was wondering how could i render a etst with few lines.
this is the way i render the text. The usual
def text(s,x,y,z):
	glRasterPos3f(x,y,z)
	for char in s:
		glutBitmapCharacter(GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13, ord(char))

I tried to pass \n\ in  the string to mark the carriage return but i
guess this doesnt work with opengl.
any tips?

thanks!

You want to check char for \n character and then adjust the raster position 
manually.  Like you're doing a carriage return.
