Function Parameters

Return Value

(SDL_Texture *) Returns a pointer to the created texture or NULL if no rendering context was active, the format was unsupported, or the width or height were out of range; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

SDL_Renderer *	renderer	the rendering context.
SDL_PixelFormat	format	one of the enumerated values in SDL_PixelFormat.
SDL_TextureAccess	access	one of the enumerated values in SDL_TextureAccess.
int	w	the width of the texture in pixels.
int	h	the height of the texture in pixels.
