is_linear_bitmap(3)		 Allegro manual 	     is_linear_bitmap(3)

NAME
     is_linear_bitmap  -  Tells  if a bitmap is linear. Allegro game programming
     library.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <allegro.h>

     int is_linear_bitmap(BITMAP *bmp);

DESCRIPTION
     Returns TRUE if bmp is a linear bitmap, i.e. a bitmap that can be	accessed
     linearly  within each scanline (for example a memory bitmap, the DOS VGA or
     SVGA screen, Windows bitmaps, etc). Linear bitmaps can  be  used  with  the
     _putpixel(), _getpixel(), bmp_write_line(), and bmp_read_line() functions.

     Historically  there  were	only  linear  and planar bitmaps for Allegro, so
     is_linear_bitmap() is actually an alias for !is_planar_bitmap().
