== Syntax ==
{{{#!highlight cpp
int SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer(int            width,
                                int            height,

}}}



== Function Parameters ==
||'''width'''||the width of the window||
||'''height'''||the height of the window||
||'''window_flags'''||the flags used to create the window (see [[SDL_CreateWindow]]())||
||'''window'''||a pointer filled with the window, or NULL on error||
||'''renderer'''||a pointer filled with the renderer, or NULL on error||



== Return Value ==
Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error; call [[SDL_GetError]]() for more information.
