NAME

       al_is_compatible_bitmap - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              bool al_is_compatible_bitmap(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap)

DESCRIPTION

       D3D  and  OpenGL  allow  sharing  a  texture in a way so it can be used for multiple windows.  Each ALLE‐
       GRO_BITMAP(3alleg5) created with al_create_bitmap(3alleg5) however is usually  tied  to  a  single  ALLE‐
       GRO_DISPLAY.   This function can be used to know if the bitmap is compatible with the given display, even
       if it is a different display to the one it was created with.  It returns true if the bitmap is compatible
       (things like a cached texture version can be used) and false otherwise (blitting in the  current  display
       will be slow).

       The  only time this function is useful is if you are using multiple windows and need accelerated blitting
       of the same bitmaps to both.

       Returns true if the bitmap is compatible with the current display, false otherwise.  If there is no  cur‐
       rent display, false is returned.
