al_build_transform(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to al_build_transform(3) from the Library Functions Manual — this is the Allegro 5 API page, and it's literally giving “build a transformation from raw float parameters” main character energy ✨💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_build_transform — Allegro 5 API. She builds transforms. That's the whole vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_build_transform(ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM *trans, float x, float y,
   float sx, float sy, float theta)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Builds a transformation given some parameters. This call is equivalent to calling the transformations in this order: make identity, rotate, scale, translate. This method is faster, however, than actually calling those functions. no cap, it's the shortcut 💅

Parameters:

• trans — Transformation to alter.
• x, y — Translation.
• sx, sy — Scale.
• theta — Rotation angle in radians.

⚠️ Note: this function was previously documented to be equivalent to a different (and more useful) order of operations: identity, scale, rotate, translate. so if old docs had you confused, that was the old tea 🫖👀

💖 that's the page, bestie! Footer tea: source/version is Allegro reference manual, and the date slot is not listed in the original footer — it just stamps al_build_transform(3) at the end like a little signature. byeee 🫶🎀
