NAME
al_draw_polyline - Allegro 5 API
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h> void al_draw_polyline(const float* vertices, int vertex_stride, int vertex_count, int join_style, int cap_style, ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float thickness, float miter_limit)
DESCRIPTION
Draw a series of line segments. • vertices - Interleaved array of (x, y) vertex coordinates • vertex_stride - the number of bytes between pairs of vertices (the stride) • vertex_count - Number of vertices in the array • join_style - Member of ALLEGRO_LINE_JOIN(3alleg5) specifying how to render the joins between line segments • cap_style - Member of ALLEGRO_LINE_CAP(3alleg5) specifying how to render the end caps • color - Color of the line • thickness - Thickness of the line, pass <= 0 to draw hairline lines • miter_limit - Parameter for miter join style The stride is normally 2 * sizeof(float) but may be more if the vertex coordinates are in an array of some structure type, e.g. struct VertexInfo { float x; float y; int id; }; void my_draw(struct VertexInfo verts[], int vertex_count, ALLEGRO_COLOR c) { al_draw_polyline((float *)verts, sizeof(VertexInfo), vertex_count, ALLEGRO_LINE_JOIN_NONE, ALLEGRO_LINE_CAP_NONE, c, 1.0, 1.0); } The stride may also be negative if the vertices are stored in reverse order.
