💖 aa_mmwidth 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual — it's the aa_mmwidth(3) manual, and it's literally about one single tiny glorious number. we're in the AA-lib cinematic universe and honestly? it's giving ✨pixel-crunching✨. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_mmwidth — returns width of the output screen in millimeters. that's it. that's the whole job. it measures ur screen's width, in millimeters, fr fr 📏💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <aalib.h>

int aa_mmwidth(aa_context *a);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • aa_context *a — Specifies the AA-lib context to operate on. so like, u gotta hand it the context u want it to poke at. it's the "which screen, bestie?" argument 👑 no context, no answer.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns width of the output screen in millimeters.

that's the entire description. one sentence. no cap. this function is the strong silent type — it takes ur context, it looks at ur output screen, and it tells u how wide that thing is in millimeters. iconic minimalism tbh 💜

heads up: this is the output screen width in millimeters, not pixels. if u wanted pixels that's a whole different function (see below, iykyk) 🌈
