#include <allegro.h> BITMAP *create_bitmap_ex(int color_depth, int width, int height); DESCRIPTION
Creates a bitmap in a specific color depth (8, 15, 16, 24 or 32 bits per pixel). Example: /* Create screen sized bitmap in 32 bits per pixel. */ BITMAP *bmp = create_bitmap_ex(32, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H); if (!bmp) abort_on_error("Couldn't create bitmap!"); /* Use the bitmap. */ ... /* Destroy it when we don't need it any more. */ destroy_bitmap(bmp); RETURN VALUE
