al_draw_prim \- Allegro 5 API
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP
.EX
#include \f[B]<allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>\f[R]

int al_draw_prim(const void* vtxs, const ALLEGRO_VERTEX_DECL* decl,
   ALLEGRO_BITMAP* texture, int start, int end, int type)
.EE
.SH DESCRIPTION
Draws a subset of the passed vertex array.
.PP
\f[I]Parameters:\f[R]
.IP \[bu] 2
texture \- Texture to use, pass NULL to use only color shaded primitves
.IP \[bu] 2
vtxs \- Pointer to an array of vertices
.IP \[bu] 2
decl \- Pointer to a [vertex declaration]al_create_vertex_decl(3).
If set to NULL, the vertices are assumed to be of the ALLEGRO_VERTEX(3)
type
.IP \[bu] 2
start \- Start index of the subset of the vertex array to draw
.IP \[bu] 2
end \- One past the last index of the subset of the vertex array to draw
.IP \[bu] 2
type \- A member of the ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE(3) enumeration, specifying
what kind of primitive to draw
.PP
\f[I]Returns:\f[R] Number of primitives drawn
.PP
For example to draw a textured triangle you could use:
.IP
.EX
ALLEGRO_COLOR white = al_map_rgb_f(1, 1, 1);
ALLEGRO_VERTEX v[] = {
   {.x = 128, .y = 0, .z = 0, .color = white, .u = 128, .v = 0},
   {.x = 0, .y = 256, .z = 0, .color = white, .u = 0, .v = 256},
   {.x = 256, .y = 256, .z = 0, .color = white, .u = 256, .v = 256}};
al_draw_prim(v, NULL, texture, 0, 3, ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_LIST);
