al_get_window_position(3alleg5)

✨ al_get_window_position — Allegro 5 API ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the manual 💅 this one's a lil function that tells you where your window is chillin on the screen, and honestly? we love a low-effort icon.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_get_window_position(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, int *x, int *y)

no cap, that's the whole thing. two lil pointers and a display. she's simple, she's cute, she slays 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. this function gets the position of a display — but only if it's a non-fullscreen display, bestie. fullscreen windows said "i don't have coordinates, i am the coordinates" and honestly? main character energy 💀

you hand her an ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display plus two int * pointers (*x and *y), and she fills those babies in with the window's position. it's giving "here's where your window lives" 🎀

• al_get_window_borders(3alleg5) — for when you also wanna know about the borders, because details matter 💅

ngl, if you're trying to read a fullscreen display's position, that's not this function's vibe. non-fullscreen only, periodt.

and that's the tea 🍓 this page came to you straight from the Allegro reference manual, living in the 3alleg5 era of Allegro docs. go forth and position your windows, bestie — you got this 💖🌈⭐
