Allegro 5 api

Usage

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
void al_convert_bitmap(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap)

Overview

Converts the bitmap to the current bitmap flags and format. The bitmap will be as if it was created anew with al_create_bitmap(3) but retain its contents. All of this bitmap’s sub-bitmaps are also converted. If the new bitmap type is memory, then the bitmap’s projection bitmap is reset to be orthographic.

If this bitmap is a sub-bitmap, then it, its parent and all the sibling sub-bitmaps are also converted.
