AL_SET_NEW_DISPLAY_REFRESH_RATE(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

al_set_new...efresh_rate(3) — yes, that header is the page title, bestie. The actual function is al_set_new_display_refresh_rate, and it’s part of the Allegro 5 API from the Allegro reference manual.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_new_display_refresh_rate(int refresh_rate)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so al_set_new_display_refresh_rate sets the refresh rate to use when creating new displays on the calling thread. Slay.

If the refresh rate is not available, al_create_display(3) will fail. Like, literally fail, no cap. A list of modes with refresh rates can be found with al_get_num_display_modes(3) and al_get_display_mode(3).

The default setting is zero (don’t care). Periodt. 💅
