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);
