# allegro\_icon(3alleg)

Pointer to the Allegro X11 icon.

## NAME

allegro\_icon - Pointer to the Allegro X11 icon.

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<allegro.h\>**

**extern void \*allegro\_icon;**

## DESCRIPTION

This is a pointer to the Allegro X11 icon, which is in the format of  standard .xpm bitmap data. You do not normally have to bother with this at all: you can use the xfixicon.sh utility from the tools/x11 directory to convert a true  colour bitmap to a C file that you only need to link with your own code to set the icon.
