✨ aa_putpixel(3) — Library Functions Manual ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about aa_putpixel from the AA-lib crew, and honestly? it's giving one job, done well 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_putpixel — put pixel to emulated framebuffer

like. that's it. that's the whole name. she drops one pixel into the emulated framebuffer and she does not elaborate. icon behaviour tbh 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <aalib.h>

void aa_putpixel
(
     aa_context *c,
     int x,
     int y,
     int color
);

💖 PARAMETERS 💖

  • aa_context *c — the AA-lib context you're operating on, bestie. this is the whole world she's drawing into, so hand her a real one 🫶
  • int x — X coordinate. yes, the horizontal one. you got this ✨
  • int y — Y coordinate. vertical. the other one. slay 🌈
  • int color — palette index or brightness value, and the range is 0..255. that's the vibe check: 0 to 255, no cap 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Put pixel to emulated framebuffer.

that's the entire bit, and honestly it's main character energy — she doesn't need a paragraph, she needs a pixel and a place to put it. you give her x, y, and a color, and she goes and puts that pixel in the emulated framebuffer. periodt. 🔥

no like literally, that's the documented behaviour. don't go inventing extra lore for her, she's mysterious like that 💀
