[PyOpenGL-Users] Bounding box of bitmep text

[Prashant S. <ani...@ya...>]

def drawText(x,y,text):
  glRasterPos3f(x,y,0.8)
  for i in text:
    glutBitmapCharacter(GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12, ord(i))

when creating a text using above function how do I determine the bounding box of the text drawn or the length taken by the text?
