SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom

Allocate a new RGB surface with with a specific pixel format and existing pixel data.

Syntax

SDL_Surface* SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom
    (void *pixels, int width, int height, int depth, int pitch, Uint32 format);

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
format the SDL_PixelFormatEnum for the new surface's pixel format.

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_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom(), except instead of providing pixel color masks, you provide it with a predefined format from SDL_PixelFormatEnum.

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 2.0.5.
