al_get_ustr_width(3alleg5)

✨ al_get_ustr_width ✨

ok so bestie, we're in the Allegro 5 API manual and this page is literally just about one tiny little function that measures how wide your text is gonna be. she's small but she's essential 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

int al_get_ustr_width(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f, ALLEGRO_USTR const *ustr)

like, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, two arguments, and she hands you back an int. no cap. 🎀

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So you know al_get_text_width(3alleg5)? yeah, this one is literally her twin sister, same energy, same job — except she expects an ALLEGRO_USTR instead of whatever the other one takes.

that's it. that's the whole thing. it's giving "same function, different string type." 🦋

ngl, if you were hoping for a plot twist, there isn't one. she's a one-job girlie and she does her one job flawlessly. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• al_get_text_width(3alleg5) — the sibling who takes the other string type
• al_get_ustr_dimensions(3alleg5) — when you need the width and the height, because sometimes you're extra like that 💅

and that's a wrap on the Allegro reference manual, page al_get_ustr_width(3alleg5). slay, go measure some strings, bestie 💖✨🫶
