al_draw_pixel(3alleg5)

💖 NAME 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the Allegro reference manual page for al_draw_pixel — yes it's Allegro 5 API, we love a glow-up era ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_draw_pixel(float x, float y, ALLEGRO_COLOR color)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so real talk: this function draws a single pixel at x, y. That's it. That's the whole job. But she's got range, so listen up 👑

The way that she's built different from al_put_pixel(3alleg5)? She does blending. Periodt. And the way she differs from al_put_blended_pixel(3alleg5)? She respects the transformations — meaning the pixel's position gets transformed, but its size is unaffected, so it stays exactly one pixel, no stretching, no nothing. Iconic behavior, no cap 💅

lowkey a warning though: this function can be slow if called often. Not her fault, she's just doing a lot per call. So if you need to draw a LOT of pixels, don't spam her — consider using al_draw_prim(3alleg5) with ALLEGRO_PRIM_POINT_LIST from the primitives addon instead. She'll understand 🫶

Here's the full tea on her arguments:

• x — destination x 📍
• y — destination y 📍
• color — color of the pixel 🎨
  • Note: this function may not draw exactly where you expect it to. Fr fr. See the pixel-precise output section on the primitives addon documentation for the details on how to control exactly where the pixel is drawn. iykyk 🌈
