= SDL_FillRect =
Use this function to perform a fast fill of a rectangle with a specific color.

<<TableOfContents()>>

== Syntax ==
{{{#!highlight cpp
int SDL_FillRect(SDL_Surface*    dst,
                 const SDL_Rect* rect,
                 Uint32          color)
}}}

== Function Parameters ==
||'''dst'''||the [[SDL_Surface]] structure that is the drawing target||
||'''rect'''||the [[SDL_Rect]] structure representing the rectangle to fill, or NULL to fill the entire surface||
||'''color'''||the color to fill with; see [[#Remarks|Remarks]] for details||

== Return Value ==
Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call [[SDL_GetError]]() for more information.

== Code Examples ==
{{{#!highlight cpp
/* Declaring the surface. */
SDL_Surface *s;

/* Creating the surface. */
s = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(0, width, height, 32, 0, 0, 0, 0);

/* Filling the surface with red color. */
SDL_FillRect(s, NULL, SDL_MapRGB(s->format, 255, 0, 0));
}}}

== Remarks ==
'''color''' should be a pixel of the format used by the surface, and can be generated by [[SDL_MapRGB]]() or [[SDL_MapRGBA]]().  If the color value contains an alpha component then the destination is simply filled with that alpha information, no blending takes place.

If there is a clip rectangle set on the destination (set via [[SDL_SetClipRect]]()), then this function will fill based on the intersection of the clip rectangle and '''rect'''.
