al_get_parent_bitmap \- Allegro 5 API
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
#include\ <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_BITMAP\ *al_get_parent_bitmap(ALLEGRO_BITMAP\ *bitmap)
\f[]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Returns the bitmap this bitmap is a sub\-bitmap of.
Returns NULL if this bitmap is not a sub\-bitmap.
This function always returns the real bitmap, and never a sub\-bitmap.
This might NOT match what was passed to al_create_sub_bitmap(3alleg5).
Consider this code, for instance:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
ALLEGRO_BITMAP*\ a\ =\ al_create_bitmap(512,\ 512);
ALLEGRO_BITMAP*\ b\ =\ al_create_sub_bitmap(a,\ 128,\ 128,\ 256,\ 256);
ALLEGRO_BITMAP*\ c\ =\ al_create_sub_bitmap(b,\ 64,\ 64,\ 128,\ 128);
ASSERT(al_get_parent_bitmap(b)\ ==\ a\ &&\ al_get_parent_bitmap(c)\ ==\ a);
\f[]
.fi
.PP
The assertion will pass because only \f[C]a\f[] is a real bitmap, and
both \f[C]b\f[] and \f[C]c\f[] are its sub\-bitmaps.
