al_premul_rgba_f - Allegro 5 API
#include <allegro5/allegro.h> ALLEGRO_COLOR al_premul_rgba_f(float r, float g, float b, float a)
This is a shortcut for al_map_rgba_f(3alleg5)(r * a, g * a, b * a, a).
By default Allegro uses pre-multiplied alpha for transparent blending of bitmaps and primitives (see al_load_bitmap_flags(3alleg5) for a discussion of that feature). This means that if you want to tint a bitmap or primitive to be transparent you need to multiply the color components by the alpha components when you pass them to this function. For example:
float r = 1; float g = 0; float b = 0; float a = 0.5; ALLEGRO_COLOR c = al_premul_rgba_f(r, g, b, a); /* Draw the bitmap tinted red and half-transparent. */ al_draw_tinted_bitmap(bmp, c, 0, 0, 0);
This function can be called before Allegro is initialized.
