al_convert_bitmap(3)

💖 NAME 💖

al_convert_bitmap — Allegro 5 API. (Yes bestie, this page is from the Library Functions Manual, and we’re doing bitmap glow-ups today.)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_convert_bitmap(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so al_convert_bitmap converts the bitmap to the current bitmap flags and format. The vibe is: it’s as if the bitmap was created anew with al_create_bitmap(3), but it retains its contents. All of this bitmap’s sub-bitmaps are also converted. If the new bitmap type is memory, then the bitmap’s projection bitmap is reset to be orthographic.

If this bitmap is a sub-bitmap, then it, its parent and all the sibling sub-bitmaps are also converted. No cap. 💅
