al_draw_ellipse(3alleg5)

✨ al_draw_ellipse ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro 5 API and it's literally the moment your primitives era begins 💖

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

al_draw_ellipse — draw an outlined ellipse, no cap, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

void al_draw_ellipse(float cx, float cy, float rx, float ry,
   ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float thickness)

like. look at her. six params and she's serving primitives header energy 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

She draws an outlined ellipse — just the ring, not the filled-in situation. Outlined. Filled is a whole other function, we'll get there, don't worry 🫶

Here's the cast of characters, aka the parameters:

• cx, cy — the center of the ellipse. that's her main character location 📍
• rx, ry — the radii of the ellipse. two of them because she's an ellipse and she's got range 🌈
• color — the color of the ellipse. obviously 💜
• thickness — the thickness of the ellipse. and here's the tea: pass <= 0 to draw a hairline ellipse ✨

not me emphasizing this but fr fr: thickness <= 0 = hairline. it's giving delicate. it's giving effortless. remember it 😭
