STRUCTURE DATA
flags Surface flags
format Pixel format
w, h Width and height of the surface
pitch Length of a surface scanline in bytes
pixels Pointer to the actual pixel data
clip_rect surface clip rectangle
DESCRIPTION
SDL_Surface's represent areas of "graphical" memory, memory that can be
drawn to. The video framebuffer is returned as a SDL_Surface by
SDL_SetVideoMode and SDL_GetVideoSurface. Most of the fields should be
pretty obvious. w and h are the width and height of the surface in pix-
els. pixels is a pointer to the actual pixel data, the surface should
be locked before accessing this field. The clip_rect field is the clip-
ping rectangle as set by SDL_SetClipRect.
The following are supported in the flags field.
SDL_SWSURFACE Surface is stored in system memory
SDL_HWSURFACE Surface is stored in video memory
SDL_ASYNCBLIT Surface uses asynchronous blits if possible
SDL_ANYFORMAT Allows any pixel-format (Display surface)
SDL_HWPALETTE Surface has exclusive palette
SDL_DOUBLEBUF Surface is double buffered (Display surface)
SDL_FULLSCREEN Surface is full screen (Display Surface)
SDL_OPENGL Surface has an OpenGL context (Display Surface)
SDL_OPENGLBLIT Surface supports OpenGL blitting (Display Surface)
SDL_RESIZABLE Surface is resizable (Display Surface)
SDL_HWACCEL Surface blit uses hardware acceleration
SDL_SRCCOLORKEY Surface use colorkey blitting
SDL_RLEACCEL Colorkey blitting is accelerated with RLE
SDL_SRCALPHA Surface blit uses alpha blending
SDL_PREALLOC Surface uses preallocated memory
