NAME

       textout_ex  -  Writes  a  string  on a bitmap. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void textout_ex(BITMAP *bmp, const FONT *f, const char *s, int  x,  int
       y, int color, int bg);

DESCRIPTION

       Writes  the  string  `s'  onto  the  bitmap at position x, y, using the
       specified  font,  foreground  color  and  background  color.   If   the
       background  color is -1, then the text is written transparently. If the
       foreground color is -1 and a color font is in use,  it  will  be  drawn
       using  the  colors  from the original font bitmap (the one you imported
       into the grabber program), which allows multicolored text  output.  For
       high  and  true color fonts, the foreground color is ignored and always
       treated as -1. Example:

          /* Show the program's version in blue letters. */
          textout_ex(screen, font, "v4.2.0-beta2", 10, 10,
                     makecol(0, 0, 255), -1);
