al_init_image_addon
bool al_init_image_addon(void)
Initializes the image addon. This registers bitmap format handlers for al_load_bitmap, al_load_bitmap_f, al_save_bitmap, al_save_bitmap_f.
The following types are built into the Allegro image addon and guaranteed to be available: BMP, PCX, TGA. Every platform also supports JPEG and PNG via external dependencies.
