🦋 al_draw_bitmap_region(3) 🦋

okay so bestie, this is the Allegro reference manual / Allegro 5 API page for al_draw_bitmap_region, and it’s literally giving “draw a little region from one bitmap onto the target bitmap” energy 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_draw_bitmap_region — Allegro 5 API. That’s the whole name, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first, the include and the function signature, exactly as they live:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_draw_bitmap_region(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap,
   float sx, float sy, float sw, float sh, float dx, float dy, int flags)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Draws a region of the given bitmap to the target bitmap. Translation: you’re taking a rectangle out of one bitmap and drawing it onto the target bitmap. iconic behavior 🔥

• sx — source x
• sy — source y
• sw — source width (width of region to blit)
• sh — source height (height of region to blit)
• dx — destination x
• dy — destination y
• flags — same as for al_draw_bitmap(3)

🚨 important bestie note: see al_draw_bitmap(3) for a note on restrictions on which bitmaps can be drawn where. Don’t skip it, fr fr — it’s literally right there 😭
