al_convert_bitmap(3alleg5)

💖 al_convert_bitmap 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API glow-up zone ✨ this one's from the Allegro reference manual, and it's literally about giving your bitmap a whole new vibe without losing its lore 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

al_convert_bitmap — the Allegro 5 API function that does a full makeover on a bitmap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_convert_bitmap(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the tea, bestie 🫖: al_convert_bitmap converts the bitmap to the current bitmap flags and format. Think of it like the bitmap walked into the salon looking one way and walked out looking completely different — except it's exactly as if it was created fresh with al_create_bitmap(3alleg5), but it retains its contents. Same pixels, new era. no cap 💯

And it's not just the one bitmap getting the treatment either:

• All of this bitmap's sub-bitmaps get converted too 👑
• If the new bitmap type is memory, then the bitmap's projection bitmap gets reset to be orthographic 🔄
• If this bitmap is itself a sub-bitmap, then it, its parent, and all the sibling sub-bitmaps are also converted — the whole friend group is coming along, fr fr 🫶

not me casually rewriting an entire family tree of bitmaps 😭 it's giving main character energy and honestly? obsessed.
