SDL_ReadSurfacePixel

Retrieves a single pixel from a surface.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_surface.h>

Syntax

int SDL_ReadSurfacePixel(SDL_Surface *surface, int x, int y, Uint8 *r, Uint8 *g, Uint8 *b, Uint8 *a);

Function Parameters

surface	the surface to read
x	the horizontal coordinate, 0 <= x < width
y	the vertical coordinate, 0 <= y < height
r	a pointer filled in with the red channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel
g	a pointer filled in with the green channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel
b	a pointer filled in with the blue channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel
a	a pointer filled in with the alpha channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel

Return Value

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

Remarks

This function prioritizes correctness over speed: it is suitable for unit tests, but is not intended for use in a game engine.

Like SDL_GetRGBA, this uses the entire 0..255 range when converting color components from pixel formats with less than 8 bits per RGB component.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
