import Graphics.Rendering.FreeType.Simple

prepareTexture :: String -> GL (Texture R8)
prepareTexture singleText = do
  font <- readFont "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono.ttf"
  (bitmap, wh, bbox) <- textLine font 120.0 singleText
  glLoadTex2D Nothing True bitmap (fromIntegral <$> wh)

draw :: GL ()
draw = withGL $ do
  tex <- prepareTexture "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
  setSampler tex (Sampler (clampToEdge,clampToEdge,Nothing) 16.0 (magLinear,minLinear))
  glDraw triangleStrip textShader
      [ texSlot 0 tex ] -- set the texture to slot 0
      [{- Uniform Variables -}]
      vao
      (takeFrom 0 4) -- make a billboard
