ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE(3)

💖 ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API reference manual — this one's the tea on ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE, and honestly it's a tiny little struct that does a very specific job. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's what you're working with:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this struct is used for fullscreen mode queries — iykyk. it literally just holds info about one of the supported fullscreen modes. no more, no less, and she ate 💅

typedef struct ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE {
   int width;          // Screen width
   int height;         // Screen height
   int format;         // The pixel format of the mode
   int refresh_rate;   // The refresh rate of the mode
} ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE;

breakin' it down for you:

• width — the screen width 💖
• height — the screen height 🦋
• format — the pixel format of the mode
• refresh_rate — the refresh rate of the mode ⭐

heads up bestie: refresh_rate may be zero if unknown 😭 so don't go dividing by it, fr fr.

and if you're sitting there like "okay but what does format even mean tho" — no worries, there's a whole explanation waiting for you over in ALLEGRO_PIXEL_FORMAT(3). go read it, it's giving essential context ✨
