al_draw_filled_ellipse(3)

💅 al_draw_filled_ellipse — Allegro 5 API ✨

Okay bestie, so this one is from the Allegro 5 API (the allegro_primitives girlies, you know the ones) and it is literally the easiest way to put a big fat filled oval on your screen. No cap. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

void al_draw_filled_ellipse(float cx, float cy, float rx, float ry,
   ALLEGRO_COLOR color)

Yes bestie, that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't come for me about the line break 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It draws a filled ellipse. That's it. That's the vibe. 🎀 One solid, chunky oval, no hollow middle, no "haha just the outline," just full-on filled main character energy.

Here's the parameter tea, one by one 👑

• cx, cy — the Center of the ellipse. Like, where the heart of the oval lives. 💖
• rx, ry — the Radii of the ellipse. Plural radiuses, the horizontal one and the vertical one, so you can make it wide or tall or perfectly round, your call. 🦋
• color — the Color of the ellipse. The ALLEGRO_COLOR it gets filled with. Pick something iconic. 🌈

Lowkey a vibe check reminder: cx/cy and rx/ry are floats and color is an ALLEGRO_COLOR, so keep those types exactly as they are. 💀

Source/version tea: this is straight from the Allegro reference manual, and the footer date stamp on it is the same as the header title page, al_draw_filled_ellipse(3) — so whenever you're reading this, that's the version you've got. Mwah. 💋 🎀
