SDL_RenderTexture9Grid

Perform a scaled copy using the 9-grid algorithm to the current rendering target at subpixel precision.

Header File

Syntax

bool SDL_RenderTexture9Grid(SDL_Renderer *renderer, SDL_Texture *texture, const SDL_FRect *srcrect, float left_width, float right_width, float top_height, float bottom_height, float scale, const SDL_FRect *dstrect);

Function Parameters

SDL_Renderer *	renderer	the renderer which should copy parts of a texture.
SDL_Texture *	texture	the source texture.
const SDL_FRect *	srcrect	the SDL_Rect structure representing the rectangle to be used for the 9-grid, or NULL to use the entire texture.
float	left_width	the width, in pixels, of the left corners in `srcrect`.
float	right_width	the width, in pixels, of the right corners in `srcrect`.
float	top_height	the height, in pixels, of the top corners in `srcrect`.
float	bottom_height	the height, in pixels, of the bottom corners in `srcrect`.
float	scale	the scale used to transform the corner of `srcrect` into the corner of `dstrect`, or 0.0f for an unscaled copy.
const SDL_FRect *	dstrect	a pointer to the destination rectangle, or NULL for the entire rendering target.

Return Value

(bool) Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

The pixels in the texture are split into a 3x3 grid, using the different corner sizes for each corner, and the sides and center making up the remaining pixels. The corners are then scaled using scale and fit into the corners of the destination rectangle. The sides and center are then stretched into place to cover the remaining destination rectangle.

Thread Safety

You may only call this function from the main thread.
