# SDL_FillSurfaceRect

Perform a fast fill of a rectangle with a specific color.

## Header File

Defined in [SDL_surface.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_surface.h), but apps should use `#include <SDL3/SDL.h>`

## Syntax

```c
int SDL_FillSurfaceRect(SDL_Surface *dst, const SDL_Rect *rect, Uint32 color);

```

## Function Parameters

|               |                                                                                                           |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **dst**       | the [SDL_Surface](SDL_Surface) structure that is the drawing target                                       |
| **rect**      | the [SDL_Rect](SDL_Rect) structure representing the rectangle to fill, or NULL to fill the entire surface |
| **color**     | the color to fill with                                                                                    |

## Return Value

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

## Remarks

`color` should be a pixel of the format used by the surface, and can be
generated by [SDL_MapRGB](SDL_MapRGB)() or [SDL_MapRGBA](SDL_MapRGBA)(). If
the color value contains an alpha component then the destination is simply
filled with that alpha information, no blending takes place.

If there is a clip rectangle set on the destination (set via
[SDL_SetSurfaceClipRect](SDL_SetSurfaceClipRect)()), then this function
will fill based on the intersection of the clip rectangle and `rect`.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
