17       tion x, y, using the specified font.

19       The flags parameter can be 0 or one of the following flags:
20
21       · ALLEGRO_ALIGN_LEFT - Draw the text left-aligned (same as 0).
22
23       · ALLEGRO_ALIGN_CENTRE - Draw the text centered around the given  posi‐
24         tion.
25
26       · ALLEGRO_ALIGN_RIGHT  - Draw the text right-aligned to the given posi‐
27         tion.

30
31       · ALLEGRO_ALIGN_INTEGER - Always draw text aligned to an integer  pixel
32         position.   This  was  formerly the default behaviour.  Since: 5.0.8,
33         5.1.4
34
35       This function does not support newline characters (\n), but you can use
36       al_draw_multiline_text(3) for multi line text output.
