al_draw_rectangle(3alleg5)

✨ al_draw_rectangle ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro 5 API (that's the 3alleg5 manual, iykyk) and it's about to become your new fave little line-drawing icon 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

void al_draw_rectangle(float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2,
   ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float thickness)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It draws an outlined rectangle. That's it, that's the whole vibe — just the border, no fill, like eyeliner for your shapes ✨

Now the parameters, because we love a breakdown:

• x1, y1, x2, y2 — these are the upper left and lower right points of the rectangle. Yes, two corners, that's all it needs, she's low maintenance 🎀
• color — the color of the rectangle. Go off, pick something cute 🌈
• thickness — the thickness of the lines. And listen: if you pass a value <= 0, you get hairline lines. Hairline!! So thin, so delicate, so demure 🧚

no cap, <= 0 really does mean hairline — don't come for me, that's just what it does 💀
