🌸 NAME 🌸

ALLEGRO_PRIM_QUALITY — the Allegro 5 API icon from the Library Functions Manual, aka the macro that controls how good your curved primitives look. She’s giving quality-control main character energy, no cap ✨💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

#define ALLEGRO_PRIM_QUALITY 10

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so ALLEGRO_PRIM_QUALITY literally controls the quality of the approximation of curved primitives (e.g. circles) 🌀. Curved primitives are drawn by approximating them with a sequence of line segments — it’s giving smooth-ish but make it segments, iykyk 🫶.

By default, this roughly corresponds to an error of less than half of a pixel. Half. A. Pixel. She’s precise like that 😭💖

Signed off from the Allegro reference manual — ALLEGRO_PRIM_QUALITY(3), no date on this page, but she’s iconic anyway 💅🌸
