al_premul_rgba_f - Allegro 5 API
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_COLOR al_premul_rgba_f(float r, float g, float b, float a)
\f[R]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This is a shortcut for al_map_rgba_f(3alleg5)(r * a, g * a, b * a, a).
.PP
By default Allegro uses pre-multiplied alpha for transparent blending of
bitmaps and primitives (see al_load_bitmap_flags(3alleg5) for a
discussion of that feature).
This means that if you want to tint a bitmap or primitive to be
transparent you need to multiply the color components by the alpha
components when you pass them to this function.
For example:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
float r = 1;
float g = 0;
float b = 0;
float a = 0.5;
ALLEGRO_COLOR c = al_premul_rgba_f(r, g, b, a);
/* Draw the bitmap tinted red and half-transparent. */
al_draw_tinted_bitmap(bmp, c, 0, 0, 0);
