textout_centre_ex(3)

textout_centre_ex – Writes a centered string on a bitmap. Allegro game programming library.

Synopsis

#include <allegro.h>

void textout_centre_ex(BITMAP *bmp, const FONT *f, const char *s,

                   int x, y, int color, int bg);</code></pre>

Description

Like textout_ex(), but interprets the x coordinate as the centre rather than the left edge of the string. Example:

/* Important texts go in the middle. */
width = text_length("GAME OVER");
textout_centre_ex(screen, font, "GAME OVER",
SCREEN_W / 2, SCREEN_H / 2,
makecol(255, 0, 0), makecol(0, 0, 0));
