# al\_draw\_justified\_text(3)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_draw\_justified\_text - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>
  void al_draw_justified_text(const ALLEGRO_FONT *font,
     ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x1, float x2,
     float y, float diff, int flags, const char *text)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Like [al\_draw\_text(3)](/al_draw_text/3.md), but justifies the string to the region x1-x2.

The `diff` parameter is the maximum amount of horizontal space to allow between words. If justisfying the text would exceed `diff` pixels, or the string contains less than two words, then the string will be drawn left aligned.

The `flags` parameter can be 0 or one of the following flags:

- •

  ALLEGRO\_ALIGN\_INTEGER - Draw text aligned to integer pixel positions. Since: 5.0.8, 5.1.5
