ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE(3alleg5)

💖 ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Allegro reference manual — the Allegro 5 API, to be exact — and we're about to get into it. no cap, this one's short and sweet but it's lowkey iconic 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE — Allegro 5 API 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So bestie, this little struct is what you use for fullscreen mode queries. it's literally the container that holds all the deets about a supported fullscreen mode — like, everything you'd want to know before you commit to a resolution, it's giving full transparency. ✨

here's the whole thing, character for character, no edits:

typedef struct ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE {
   int width;          // Screen width
   int height;         // Screen height
   int format;         // The pixel format of the mode
   int refresh_rate;   // The refresh rate of the mode
} ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_MODE;

and lemme break it down so it hits right:

• width — the screen width. the horizontal vibe. 📏
• height — the screen height. the vertical vibe. 📐
• format — the pixel format of the mode. what colours are we working with, bestie? 🎨
• refresh_rate — the refresh rate of the mode. how fast it's giving. ⚡

heads up, queen: the refresh_rate may be zero if it's unknown. so don't come for it if it ghosts you with a 0 — that's just it not knowing, fr fr. 🙈

and if you're sitting there like "okay but what does format even mean" — no worries, bestie, there's a whole page for that. go check out ALLEGRO_PIXEL_FORMAT(3alleg5). iykyk. 💜
