NAME

       al_transform_coordinates_3d_projective - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              void al_transform_coordinates_3d_projective(const ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM *trans,
                 float *x, float *y, float *z)

DESCRIPTION

       Transform   x,   y,   z   as   homogeneous   coordinates.   This  is  the  same  as  using
       al_transform_coordinates_4d(3alleg5) with the w coordinate set to 1, then dividing x, y, z
       by  the  resulting w.  This will provide the same normalized coordinates Allegro will draw
       to    when    a    projective    transform    is     in     effect     as     set     with
       al_use_projection_transform(3alleg5).   To  get  the  actual  pixel coordinates from those
       translate and scale like so (w and h would be the pixel dimensions of the target bitmap):

              x = w / 2 + x * w / 2
              y = h / 2 - y * h / 2

       Parameters:

       • trans - Transformation to use

       • x, y, z - Pointers to the coordinates

       Example:

              ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM t2;
              al_copy_transform(&t2, al_get_current_transform());
              al_compose_transform(&t2, al_get_current_projection_transform());

              ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM t3;
              al_identity_transform(&t3);
              al_scale_transform(&t3, 0.5, -0.5);
              al_translate_transform(&t3, 0.5, 0.5);
              al_scale_transform(&t3, al_get_bitmap_width(al_get_target_bitmap()),
                                 al_get_bitmap_height(al_get_target_bitmap()));

              al_transform_coordinates_3d_projective(&t2, &x, &y, &z);
              // x, y now contain normalized coordinates
              al_transform_coordinates(&t3, &x, &y);
              // x, y now contain pixel coordinates

       Since 5.2.4
