# SDL_RenderDrawLine

Draw a line on the current rendering target.

## Header File

Defined in [SDL_render.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_render.h), but apps should _only_ `#include "SDL.h"`!

## Syntax

```c
int SDL_RenderDrawLine(SDL_Renderer * renderer,
                       int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2);

```

## Function Parameters

|                  |                                     |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **renderer**     | the rendering context               |
| **x1**           | the x coordinate of the start point |
| **y1**           | the y coordinate of the start point |
| **x2**           | the x coordinate of the end point   |
| **y2**           | the y coordinate of the end point   |

## Return Value

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call
[SDL_GetError](SDL_GetError)() for more information.

## Remarks

[SDL_RenderDrawLine](SDL_RenderDrawLine)() draws the line to include both
end points. If you want to draw multiple, connecting lines use
[SDL_RenderDrawLines](SDL_RenderDrawLines)() instead.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
