IMG_ReadXPMFromArray

Load an XPM image from a memory array.

Header File

Syntax

SDL_Surface * IMG_ReadXPMFromArray(char **xpm);

Function Parameters

char **

xpm

a null-terminated array of strings that comprise XPM data.

Return Value

(SDL_Surface *) Returns a new SDL surface, or NULL on error.

Remarks

The returned surface will be an 8bpp indexed surface, if possible, otherwise it will be 32bpp. If you always want 32-bit data, use IMG_ReadXPMFromArrayToRGB888() instead.

When done with the returned surface, the app should dispose of it with a call to SDL_DestroySurface().

Version

This function is available since SDL_image 3.0.0.
