Hi,

I've been searching the web (in vain) for an example of how to clip text 
to a region such that only the visible portion of the text is displayed.  
As most everyone who has worked with glCallLists and glRasterPos to 
display text probably already knows, the text string is not rendered in 
certain circumstances (i.e. glRasterPos2i(-1, 50) when the viewport is 
(0,0) - (100,100))

Is there a workaround for this?  There must be a way to do this fairly 
painlessly.... I hope.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Brian

Instead of:
glRasterPos2i(x,y);

Use:

glRasterPos2i(0,0);
glBitmap(0,0,0,0,x,y,NULL);

Governments, like diapers, should be changed often,

THANKS!  That works great!
