al_set_window_constraints(3alleg5)

✨ al_set_window_constraints ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API page for al_set_window_constraints 💖 this one's short and sweet, so let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_set_window_constraints(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display,
   int min_w, int min_h, int max_w, int max_h)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically this function puts constraints on a display that's non-fullscreen and resizable. like, you're telling the window "hey, don't let anyone squish you smaller than this or stretch you bigger than that" 🎀

but bestie, listen — the constraints are a hint only 👀. the window environment is not necessarily gonna respect them. so don't come crying if your window manager decides to do its own thing, that's just how it is fr fr 💀

if you pass a value of 0 for any of the parameters, that means no constraint for that parameter. iconic. zero = "no thoughts, head empty, no limits" ✨

🚨 IMPORTANT: the constraints will only actually be applied to a display after you call the al_apply_window_constraints(3alleg5) function. setting them alone does nothing, you gotta apply them too. no skipping steps 💖
