SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface

Create a texture from an existing surface.

SDL_Texture * SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface(SDL_Renderer * renderer, SDL_Surface * surface);

Function Parameters

renderer the rendering context
surface the SDL_Surface structure containing pixel data used to fill the texture

The surface is not modified or freed by this function.

The SDL_TextureAccess hint for the created texture is SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STATIC.

The pixel format of the created texture may be different from the pixel format of the surface. Use SDL_QueryTexture() to query the pixel format of the texture.
