# exscale(3alleg4)

Loading PCX files and bitmap stretching. Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

exscale - Loading PCX files and bitmap stretching. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

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

**Example exscale**

## DESCRIPTION

This example demonstrates how to use PCX files, palettes and stretch blits. It loads a PCX file, sets its palette and does some random stretch\_blits. Don't worry - it's VERY slowed down using vsync().
