This page is from the Library Functions Manual, bestie, and it’s the Allegro 5 API entry for al_set_new_bitmap_wrap. Buckle up, it’s short but lowkey important 💅

💖 NAME 💖

al_set_new_bitmap_wrap — Allegro 5 API, periodt ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_new_bitmap_wrap(ALLEGRO_BITMAP_WRAP u, ALLEGRO_BITMAP_WRAP v)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function sets the texture wrapping settings for newly created bitmaps — and yes, that’s on the current thread, bestie 🧵✨

The signature takes u and v, both typed as ALLEGRO_BITMAP_WRAP, and that’s literally the whole vibe.

Typically you take advantage of this feature either via the primitives addon (see al_draw_prim(3) and others) or via custom shaders (see ALLEGRO_SHADER(3)). Obsessed with the flexibility, ngl 💜

Note: In the context of custom shaders, Direct3D and OpenGL have different granularities for controlling this setting. Direct3D sets wrapping setting for each sampler separately, while OpenGL sets it per-texture. This interacts particularly poorly with the primitives addon which (for backwards compatibility) alters the wrapping setting. To minimize this issue, use a wrapping setting that’s not ALLEGRO_BITMAP_WRAP_DEFAULT. 🚨 This one’s important, bestie — don’t sleep on it 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈

5.2.8, yup 💫

[Unstable API]: This is an experimental feature. 🧪✨
