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 pixels. pixels is a pointer to the actual pixel data, the surface should be locked before accessing this field. The clip_rect field is the clipping 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
