# textprintf\_right\_ex(3alleg)

Formatted right aligned output of a string. Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

textprintf\_right\_ex - Formatted right aligned output of a string. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

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

**void textprintf\_right\_ex(BITMAP \*bmp, const FONT \*f, int x, y, color, bg,** **const char \*fmt, ...);**

## DESCRIPTION

Like textprintf\_ex(), but interprets the x coordinate as the right rather than the left edge of the string. This function shares the text length limitation of textprintf\_ex(). Example:

```
   textprintf_right_ex(screen, font, SCREEN_W - 10, 10,
                       makecol(200, 200, 20), -1,
                       "%d bullets left", player_ammo);
```
