## Header File

Defined in [SDL_render.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_render.h)

## Syntax

```c
int SDL_SetTextureBlendMode(SDL_Texture * texture,
                            SDL_BlendMode blendMode);
```

## Function Parameters

|                                |               |                                                                 |

| [SDL_BlendMode](SDL_BlendMode) | **blendMode** | the [SDL_BlendMode](SDL_BlendMode) to use for texture blending. |
