NAME

al_draw_text − Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>


void al_draw_text(const ALLEGRO_FONT *font,   
   ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x, float y, int flags,   
   char const *text) 

DESCRIPTION

Writes the NUL−terminated string text onto the target bitmap at position x, y, using the specified font.

The flags parameter can be 0 or one of the following flags:

ALLEGRO_ALIGN_LEFT − Draw the text left−aligned (same as 0).

ALLEGRO_ALIGN_CENTRE − Draw the text centered around the given position.

ALLEGRO_ALIGN_RIGHT − Draw the text right−aligned to the given position.

It can also be combined with this flag:

ALLEGRO_ALIGN_INTEGER − Always draw text aligned to an integer pixel position. This was formerly the default behaviour. Since: 5.0.8, 5.1.4

This function does not support newline characters (\n), but you can use al_draw_multiline_text(3alleg5) for multi line text output.
