al_draw_polygon(3)

💖 al_draw_polygon(3) — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay bestie, this is the Library Functions Manual entry for al_draw_polygon in the Allegro 5 API, and it’s giving “outline queen” energy. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_draw_polygon — Allegro 5 API 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

void al_draw_polygon(const float *vertices, int vertex_count,
   int join_style, ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float thickness, float miter_limit)

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Draw an unfilled polygon. fr fr, this is literally the same as passing ALLEGRO_LINE_CAP_CLOSED to al_draw_polyline(3). 🫶

Here’s the cast of arguments, bestie:

• vertex — interleaved array of (x, y) vertex coordinates. 💫
• vertex_count — number of vertices in the array. 🔢
• join_style — member of ALLEGRO_LINE_JOIN(3) specifying how to render the joins between line segments. 💅
• color — color of the line. 🌈
• thickness — thickness of the line, pass <= 0 to draw hairline lines. ⭐
• miter_limit — parameter for miter join style. 🎀

lowkey important: vertex is the interleaved (x, y) array, and join_style is a member of ALLEGRO_LINE_JOIN(3) — keep those exact, iykyk. 💜

🦋 SINCE 🦋

5.1.0 — iconic since then. 👑
