###### (This function is part of SDL_image, a separate library from SDL.) # IMG_LoadAnimation_RW Load an animation from an SDL_RWops. ## Syntax ```c IMG_Animation * IMG_LoadAnimation_RW(SDL_RWops *src, int freesrc); ``` ## Function Parameters | | | | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **src** | an SDL_RWops that data will be read from. | | **freesrc** | non-zero to close/free the SDL_RWops before returning, zero to leave it open. | ## Return Value Returns a new [IMG_Animation](IMG_Animation), or NULL on error. ## Remarks If `freesrc` is non-zero, the RWops will be closed before returning, whether this function succeeds or not. SDL_image reads everything it needs from the RWops during this call in any case. When done with the returned animation, the app should dispose of it with a call to [IMG_FreeAnimation](IMG_FreeAnimation)(). ## Version This function is available since SDL_image 2.6.0. ## Related Functions * [IMG_FreeAnimation](IMG_FreeAnimation) ---- [CategoryAPI](CategoryAPI)
