ALLEGRO_VERTEX_DECL(3alleg5)

💖 ALLEGRO_VERTEX_DECL 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro reference manual — yes that's the whole manual name, it's giving "we contain multitudes" ✨ this page is all about ALLEGRO_VERTEX_DECL, and ngl it's a short one but it's lowkey important so pay attention 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_VERTEX_DECL ALLEGRO_VERTEX_DECL;

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. A vertex declaration. That's the vibe. 🦋

This struct is opaque, which is fancy-speak for "you don't get to peek inside, bestie, it's not for you" 🙈 — it's the little main character whose whole job is describing the format and the layout of a user defined custom vertex. Like, the blueprint of your vertex. The aesthetic. The whole fit. 💅

And because it's opaque and special, you don't just malloc it yourself like some kind of gremlin — it gets created and destroyed by specialized functions. That's the way. That's the system. Periodt. 👑

fr fr bestie, if you're out here poking at the guts of an opaque struct, that's not the move. Use the functions. Trust. 💀
