al_get_display_orientation(3alleg5)

✨ al_get_display_orientation ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API — yes, the 3alleg5 girlies know exactly what's up 💅 this one lives in the Allegro reference manual and it's literally the chillest little function, i promise.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_display_orientation(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY* display)

she takes one ALLEGRO_DISPLAY* and hands you back an int. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this function returns the display orientation, and it's gonna be one of these seven iconic little constants:

• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_0_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_90_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_180_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_270_DEGREES
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_FACE_UP
• ALLEGRO_DISPLAY_ORIENTATION_FACE_DOWN

like… UNKNOWN? she doesn't know. FACE_UP and FACE_DOWN?? the way your phone is just lying there flat on the table, living its best life 😭 that's genuinely what those mean and i'm obsessed with it. and the degrees ones are your classic rotate-your-device moment — 0, 90, 180, 270, all the queens 👑

ngl bestie, the exact behaviour of any given orientation is up to the platform — this function just reports what it is, it doesn't decide anything for you 💖

⭐ SINCE ⭐

she's been here since 5.1.0 — an elder, a legend, a main character from day one 👑
