NAME

       is_linear_bitmap - Tells if a bitmap is linear. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int is_linear_bitmap(BITMAP *bmp);

DESCRIPTION

       Returns  TRUE if bmp is a linear bitmap, i.e. a bitmap that can be accessed linearly within each scanline
       (for example a memory bitmap, the DOS VGA or SVGA screen, Windows bitmaps, etc). Linear  bitmaps  can  be
       used with the _putpixel(), _getpixel(), bmp_write_line(), and bmp_read_line() functions.

       Historically  there were only linear and planar bitmaps for Allegro, so is_linear_bitmap() is actually an
       alias for !is_planar_bitmap().
