ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE(3)

✨ NAME ✨

ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE — Allegro 5 API. Bestie, this page is coming at you from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s literally the enum that lists the primitive types this addon can draw 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so this enum is the whole menu of primitive types this addon can draw. The vibe check is very much “what shape are we giving today?” ✨

• ALLEGRO_PRIM_POINT_LIST — a list of points, where each vertex defines a point. Tiny dot main character energy 🫶
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_LINE_LIST — a list of lines: sequential pairs of vertices define disjointed lines. No cap, they’re separate lines 💫
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_LINE_STRIP — a strip of lines, where sequential vertices define a strip of lines. The chain keeps going 🔥
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_LINE_LOOP — like a line strip, except at the end the first and the last vertices are also connected by a line. Iconic little closure moment 👑
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_LIST — a list of triangles: sequential triplets of vertices define disjointed triangles. Triplets ate 💅
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_STRIP — a strip of triangles, where sequential vertices define a strip of triangles. Strip supremacy 🌈
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_FAN — a fan of triangles, and all triangles share the first vertex. Literally all of them 😭
