ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE(3alleg5)

✨ ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API manual, page ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE(3alleg5) 💖 this one is short and sweet and it's literally just a lil enum glossary, but you're gonna want it memorized, fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE — the Allegro 5 API's very own "what shape am I even drawing" enum 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This enum is basically the menu of primitive types this addon can draw 👑 it enumerates all the kinds of primitives the addon is capable of rendering, and here's the full rundown, no skips, no cuts:

• ALLEGRO_PRIM_POINT_LIST — a list of points, and every single vertex defines a point ✨ like, one vertex = one point, that's the whole vibe.
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_LINE_LIST — a list of lines! sequential pairs of vertices define disjointed lines 🌈 so vertex 1 & 2 make a line, 3 & 4 make a line, and none of them are connected to each other. independent queens.
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_LINE_STRIP — a strip of lines, where sequential vertices define a strip of lines 🧚 it's giving "connect the dots" energy, one continuous lil trail.
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_LINE_LOOP — like a line strip, except at the end the first and the last vertices are also connected by a line 💫 so it closes itself up. a full circle moment, literally.
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_LIST — a list of triangles, sequential triplets of vertices define disjointed triangles 🔺 three at a time, no sharing, no overlap, each triangle doing its own thing.
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_STRIP — a strip of triangles, sequential vertices define a strip of triangles ⭐ they chain together and share edges, super efficient, main character energy.
• ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_FAN — a fan of triangles, where all triangles share the first vertex 🌸 every single triangle is anchored to vertex numero uno. it's a fan, bestie, and it's serving.

real talk: these are just the types — this enum tells you (and the addon) how to interpret a big pile of vertices. don't go inventing values, iykyk 💀

that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 🫶
