Typedef Documentation

typedef int(* SDL_blit)(struct SDL_Surface *src, SDL_Rect *srcrect, struct SDL_Surface *dst, SDL_Rect *dstrect)

The type of function used for surface blitting functions.

Definition at line 97 of file SDL_surface.h.

typedef struct SDL_Surface SDL_Surface

A collection of pixels used in software blitting.

Note:
This structure should be treated as read-only, except for pixels, which, if not NULL, contains the raw pixel data for the surface.

Function Documentation

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_ConvertPixels ( int  width,
int  height,
Uint32  src_format,
const void *  src,
int  src_pitch,
Uint32  dst_format,
void *  dst,
int  dst_pitch 
)

Copy a block of pixels of one format to another format.

Returns:
0 on success, or -1 if there was an error
DECLSPEC SDL_Surface* SDLCALL SDL_ConvertSurface ( SDL_Surface src,
const SDL_PixelFormat fmt,
Uint32  flags 
)

Creates a new surface of the specified format, and then copies and maps the given surface to it so the blit of the converted surface will be as fast as possible.

If this function fails, it returns NULL.

The flags parameter is passed to SDL_CreateRGBSurface() and has those semantics. You can also pass SDL_RLEACCEL in the flags parameter and SDL will try to RLE accelerate colorkey and alpha blits in the resulting surface.

DECLSPEC SDL_Surface* SDLCALL SDL_CreateRGBSurface ( Uint32  flags,
int  width,
int  height,
int  depth,
Uint32  Rmask,
Uint32  Gmask,
Uint32  Bmask,
Uint32  Amask 
)

Allocate and free an RGB surface.

If the depth is 4 or 8 bits, an empty palette is allocated for the surface. If the depth is greater than 8 bits, the pixel format is set using the flags '[RGB]mask'.

If the function runs out of memory, it will return NULL.

Parameters:
flagsThe flags are obsolete and should be set to 0.
widthThe width in pixels of the surface to create.
heightThe height in pixels of the surface to create.
depthThe depth in bits of the surface to create.
RmaskThe red mask of the surface to create.
GmaskThe green mask of the surface to create.
BmaskThe blue mask of the surface to create.
AmaskThe alpha mask of the surface to create.
DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_FillRect ( SDL_Surface dst,
const SDL_Rect rect,
Uint32  color 
)

Performs a fast fill of the given rectangle with color.

If rect is NULL, the whole surface will be filled with color.

The color should be a pixel of the format used by the surface, and can be generated by the SDL_MapRGB() function.

Returns:
0 on success, or -1 on error.
DECLSPEC void SDLCALL SDL_GetClipRect ( SDL_Surface surface,
SDL_Rect rect 
)

Gets the clipping rectangle for the destination surface in a blit.

rect must be a pointer to a valid rectangle which will be filled with the correct values.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GetColorKey ( SDL_Surface surface,
Uint32 key 
)

Gets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable surface.

Parameters:
surfaceThe surface to update
keyA pointer filled in with the transparent pixel in the native surface format
Returns:
0 on success, or -1 if the surface is not valid or colorkey is not enabled.
DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GetSurfaceAlphaMod ( SDL_Surface surface,
Uint8 alpha 
)

Get the additional alpha value used in blit operations.

Parameters:
surfaceThe surface to query.
alphaA pointer filled in with the current alpha value.
Returns:
0 on success, or -1 if the surface is not valid.
See also:
SDL_SetSurfaceAlphaMod()
DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GetSurfaceBlendMode ( SDL_Surface surface,
SDL_BlendMode blendMode 
)

Get the blend mode used for blit operations.

Parameters:
surfaceThe surface to query.
blendModeA pointer filled in with the current blend mode.
Returns:
0 on success, or -1 if the surface is not valid.
See also:
SDL_SetSurfaceBlendMode()
DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GetSurfaceColorMod ( SDL_Surface surface,
Uint8 r,
Uint8 g,
Uint8 b 
)

Get the additional color value used in blit operations.

Parameters:
surfaceThe surface to query.
rA pointer filled in with the current red color value.
gA pointer filled in with the current green color value.
bA pointer filled in with the current blue color value.
Returns:
0 on success, or -1 if the surface is not valid.
See also:
SDL_SetSurfaceColorMod()
DECLSPEC SDL_Surface* SDLCALL SDL_LoadBMP_RW ( SDL_RWops src,
int  freesrc 
)

Load a surface from a seekable SDL data stream (memory or file).

If freesrc is non-zero, the stream will be closed after being read.

The new surface should be freed with SDL_FreeSurface().

Returns:
the new surface, or NULL if there was an error.
DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_LockSurface ( SDL_Surface surface )

Sets up a surface for directly accessing the pixels.

Between calls to SDL_LockSurface() / SDL_UnlockSurface(), you can write to and read from surface->pixels, using the pixel format stored in surface->format. Once you are done accessing the surface, you should use SDL_UnlockSurface() to release it.

Not all surfaces require locking. If SDL_MUSTLOCK(surface) evaluates to 0, then you can read and write to the surface at any time, and the pixel format of the surface will not change.

No operating system or library calls should be made between lock/unlock pairs, as critical system locks may be held during this time.

SDL_LockSurface() returns 0, or -1 if the surface couldn't be locked.

See also:
SDL_UnlockSurface()
DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_LowerBlit ( SDL_Surface src,
SDL_Rect srcrect,
SDL_Surface dst,
SDL_Rect dstrect 
)

This is a semi-private blit function and it performs low-level surface blitting only.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_LowerBlitScaled ( SDL_Surface src,
SDL_Rect srcrect,
SDL_Surface dst,
SDL_Rect dstrect 
)

This is a semi-private blit function and it performs low-level surface scaled blitting only.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_SaveBMP_RW ( SDL_Surface surface,
SDL_RWops dst,
int  freedst 
)

Save a surface to a seekable SDL data stream (memory or file).

If freedst is non-zero, the stream will be closed after being written.

Returns:
0 if successful or -1 if there was an error.
DECLSPEC SDL_bool SDLCALL SDL_SetClipRect ( SDL_Surface surface,
const SDL_Rect rect 
)

Sets the clipping rectangle for the destination surface in a blit.

If the clip rectangle is NULL, clipping will be disabled.

If the clip rectangle doesn't intersect the surface, the function will return SDL_FALSE and blits will be completely clipped. Otherwise the function returns SDL_TRUE and blits to the surface will be clipped to the intersection of the surface area and the clipping rectangle.

Note that blits are automatically clipped to the edges of the source and destination surfaces.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_SetColorKey ( SDL_Surface surface,
int  flag,
Uint32  key 
)

Sets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable surface.

Parameters:
surfaceThe surface to update
flagNon-zero to enable colorkey and 0 to disable colorkey
keyThe transparent pixel in the native surface format
Returns:
0 on success, or -1 if the surface is not valid

You can pass SDL_RLEACCEL to enable RLE accelerated blits.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_SetSurfaceAlphaMod ( SDL_Surface surface,
Uint8  alpha 
)

Set an additional alpha value used in blit operations.

Parameters:
surfaceThe surface to update.
alphaThe alpha value multiplied into blit operations.

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_SetSurfaceColorMod ( SDL_Surface surface,
Uint8  r,
Uint8  g,
Uint8  b

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_SetSurfacePalette ( SDL_Surface surface,
SDL_Palette *  palette 
)

DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_SetSurfaceRLE ( SDL_Surface surface,
int  flag 
)

Sets the RLE acceleration hint for a surface.

Returns:
0 on success, or -1 if the surface is not valid
Note:
If RLE is enabled, colorkey and alpha blending blits are much faster, but the surface must be locked before directly accessing the pixels.
