SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom

Allocate a new RGB surface with existing pixel data.

Syntax

SDL_Surface* SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom(void *pixels,
                                      int width,
                                      int height,
                                      int depth,
                                      int pitch,
                                      Uint32 Rmask,
                                      Uint32 Gmask,
                                      Uint32 Bmask,
                                      Uint32 Amask);

Function Parameters

pixels a pointer to existing pixel data
width the width of the surface
height the height of the surface
depth the depth of the surface in bits
pitch the pitch of the surface in bytes
Rmask the red mask for the pixels
Gmask the green mask for the pixels
Bmask the blue mask for the pixels
Amask the alpha mask for the pixels

Return Value

Returns the new SDL_Surface structure that is created or NULL if it fails; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

This function operates mostly like SDL_CreateRGBSurface(), except it does not allocate memory for the pixel data, instead the caller provides an existing buffer of data for the surface to use.

No copy is made of the pixel data. Pixel data is not managed automatically; you must free the surface before you free the pixel data.

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
