💖 al_draw_filled_ellipse 💖

okay bestie so we're in the allegro5 manual — specifically section 3, the primitives corner of it — and today's main character is al_draw_filled_ellipse. yes she's a whole function. yes she serves. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

al_draw_filled_ellipse — the Allegro 5 API function that draws you a filled ellipse, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first you gotta invite her in:

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

and here's the signature, copy it exactly bestie, character for character, she does NOT play about spelling:

void al_draw_filled_ellipse(float cx, float cy, float rx, float ry,
   ALLEGRO_COLOR color)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she do? she draws a filled ellipse. that's it. that's the whole vibe. a solid, chunky, filled-in ellipse, living its best life on your screen. iconic behavior honestly 🌈

here are the parameters she wants from you, and yes she wants all of them:

  • cx, cy — the center of the ellipse. where she sits. her little home base 📍
  • rx, ry — the radii of the ellipse. how far she stretches in each direction, horizontally and vertically 🦋
  • color — the color of the ellipse. her outfit. her lewk. pick it wisely 💖

and that's literally it. no hidden flags, no secret options, no traps. she's a simple girl and she's thriving ✨

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

and that's the whole page bestie — this came straight out of the Allegro reference manual, for al_draw_filled_ellipse(3alleg5), so if you cite it anywhere just know that's where the lore is from 🎀 byeee, go draw something pretty for me 🧚💜
