al_set_new_bitmap_depth(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_new_bitmap_depth — bestie, this is the Allegro 5 API function that sets the depth-buffer depth for brand-new bitmaps 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_new_bitmap_depth(int depth)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, listen. al_set_new_bitmap_depth sets the depthbuffer depth that gets used by newly created bitmaps — and yes, specifically on the current thread — but only if those bitmaps are actually used with al_set_target_bitmap(3alleg5). Like, that's the whole condition, no cap. 🔥

And the tea on the value 0: passing 0 means no depth-buffer will be created when you're drawing into the bitmap. And plot twist — that's the default already. So if you do nothing, congrats, you already have it. 💖

🌸 SINCE 🌸

5.2.1 — she's a newer girlie, be nice to her 🫶

[Unstable API]: This is an experimental feature and currently only works for the OpenGL backend. So do not come for me if it acts up on other backends — it literally said it was unstable, iykyk. 💀
