al_draw_multiline_ustr(3alleg5)

💖 al_draw_multiline_ustr 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the manual — this one's a little font-drawing baddie and she's honestly so iconic for it. no cap, she's the girl who draws your text across multiple lines for you, and she does it with an ALLEGRO_USTR. let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

void al_draw_multiline_ustr(const ALLEGRO_FONT *font,
     ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x, float y, float max_width, float line_height,
     int flags, const ALLEGRO_USTR *ustr)

like, look at that signature. she's got font, she's got color, she's got coordinates, she's got a max_width and a line_height, she takes flags, and then — the moment we've all been waiting for — an ALLEGRO_USTR. periodt. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this function is exactly like al_draw_multiline_text(3alleg5), the way that it literally is that same function in a different outfit. the one single difference — the whole plot twist — is that the text gets passed in as an ALLEGRO_USTR instead of a NUL-terminated char array.

that's it. that's the vibe. if you already know al_draw_multiline_text, you already know her. if you don't, go read that page first, bestie, because this one is just the ustr-flavored remix. 🎧
