Structures and types defined by Allegro
There are several structures and types defined by Allegro which are used
in many functions (like the BITMAP structure). This section of the manual
describes their useful content from a user point of view when they don't fit
very well any of the existing manual sections, and redirects you to the
appropiate section when it's already described there. Note that unless stated
otherwise, the contents shown here are just for read only purposes, there
might be other internal flags, but you shouldn't depend on them being
available in past/future versions of Allegro.
- fixed - Fixed point integer to replace floats.
- BITMAP - Stores the contents of a bitmap.
- RLE_SPRITE - Stores the contents of an RLE sprite.
- COMPILED_SPRITE - Stores the contents of a compiled sprite.
