al_get_monitor_info(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_monitor_info — it's giving Allegro 5 API realness 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_get_monitor_info(int adapter, ALLEGRO_MONITOR_INFO *info)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, this one tells you where a monitor is chilling on the desktop 💖 literally, it grabs info about a monitor's position, that's the whole vibe.

The adapter you pass in is a number from 0 to al_get_num_video_adapters()-1. that's it, that's the range, no cap 🌈

On Windows specifically, you're gonna wanna use al_set_new_display_flags(3alleg5) to switch between the Direct3D and OpenGL backends, and heads up — those two will often have different adapters available to you 👀 so don't be shocked when the list changes on you.

It returns true on success and false on failure. simple as 🫶
