Allergo 5 - Text background color http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/610264 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Mon, 21 May 2012 09:37:44 +0000

Hello, Community!

I use Allegro 5 on my next little project.
Is it possible to somehow al_draw_text to choose the background color as textout_ex (Allegro 4)?

Best regards
Tim

No, you can use al_draw_filled_rectangle before drawing the text though. You can get the dimensions of the text with al_get_text_width and al_get_font_line_height.
