aa_image(3)

💖 aa_image(3) 💖

okay bestie, we're in the Library Functions Manual section, and this one is short but it's so important, i promise. it's giving "tiny function, huge main character energy". ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_image — she hands you back a pointer to the framebuffer that AA-lib is out here emulating. that's it. that's the job. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <aalib.h>

char *aa_image(aa_context *a);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• aa_context *a — this is the AA-lib context you wanna operate on, bestie. like, which one are we talking about? this one. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: the framebuffer is literally just a simple array of characters, and each one is a brightness value — or a palette index, depending on what aa_render call you made, iykyk. 🎨

the array is organizated (yes, that's the word the docs used, we're keeping it, no cap 🫡) in the aa_imgheight(a) rows of aa_imgwidth(a) characters. so like, rows and columns. grid vibes. 🌈

👑 RETURNS 👑

a pointer to the framebuffer emulated by AA-lib. that's the whole thing. go wild, but careful with it. 🔥
