NAME

6       create_bitmap_ex  -  Creates  a  memory  bitmap specifying color depth.
7       Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <allegro.h>
11
12
13       BITMAP *create_bitmap_ex(int color_depth, int width, int height);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Creates a bitmap in a specific color depth (8, 15, 16, 24  or  32  bits
17       per pixel). Example:
18
19          /* Create screen sized bitmap in 32 bits per pixel. */
20          BITMAP *bmp = create_bitmap_ex(32, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
21          if (!bmp)
22             abort_on_error("Couldn't create bitmap!");
23          /* Use the bitmap. */
24          ...
25          /* Destroy it when we don't need it any more. */
26          destroy_bitmap(bmp);
27

RETURN VALUE

29       Returns  a  pointer  to the created bitmap, or NULL if the bitmap could
30       not be created. Remember to free this  bitmap  later  to  avoid  memory
31       leaks.
