SDL_CreateRGBSurface

Use this function to allocate and free an RGB surface.

Syntax

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

Function Parameters

green

flags

the flags are obsolete and should be set to 0

width

the width of the surface

height

the height of the surface

depth

the depth of the surface in bits; see Remarks for details

Rmask

the red mask for the pixels

Gmask

the green mask for the pixels

Bmask

the blue mask for the pixels

Amask

the alpha mask for the pixels

Return Value

Returns a pointer to an SDL_Surface to be created. If the function runs out of memory, it will return NULL.

Code Examples

green

    /* Create a 32-bit surface with the bytes of each pixel in R,G,B,A order,
       as expected by OpenGL for textures */
    SDL_Surface *surface;
    Uint32 rmask, gmask, bmask, amask;

    /* SDL interprets each pixel as a 32-bit number, so our masks must depend
       on the endianness (byte order) of the machine */
#if SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN
    rmask = 0xff000000;
    gmask = 0x00ff0000;
    bmask = 0x0000ff00;
    amask = 0x000000ff;
#else
    rmask = 0x000000ff;
    gmask = 0x0000ff00;
    bmask = 0x00ff0000;
    amask = 0xff000000;
#endif

    surface = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, width, height, 32,
                                   rmask, gmask, bmask, amask);
    if(surface == NULL) {
        fprintf(stderr, "CreateRGBSurface failed: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
        exit(1);
    }

    /* or using the default masks for the depth: */
    surface=SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,width,height,32,0,0,0,0);

Remarks

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'.
