3 SDL_BlitSurface\- This performs a fast blit from the source surface to the destination surface\&.
8 \fBint \fBSDL_BlitSurface\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *src, SDL_Rect *srcrect, SDL_Surface *dst, SDL_Rect *dstrect\fR);
11 This performs a fast blit from the source surface to the destination surface\&.
13 Only the position is used in the \fBdstrect\fR (the width and height are ignored)\&.
15 If either \fBsrcrect\fR or \fBdstrect\fR are \fBNULL\fP, the entire surface (\fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR) is copied\&.
17 The final blit rectangle is saved in \fBdstrect\fR after all clipping is performed (\fBsrcrect\fR is not modified)\&.
19 The blit function should not be called on a locked surface\&.
21 The results of blitting operations vary greatly depending on whether \fBSDL_SRCAPLHA\fP is set or not\&. See \fISDL_SetAlpha\fR for an explaination of how this affects your results\&. Colorkeying and alpha attributes also interact with surface blitting, as the following pseudo-code should hopefully explain\&.
24 \f(CWif (source surface has SDL_SRCALPHA set) {
25 if (source surface has alpha channel (that is, format->Amask != 0))
26 blit using per-pixel alpha, ignoring any colour key
28 if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
29 blit using the colour key AND the per-surface alpha value
31 blit using the per-surface alpha value
34 if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
35 blit using the colour key
37 ordinary opaque rectangular blit
43 If the blit is successful, it returns \fB0\fR, otherwise it returns \fB-1\fR\&.
45 If either of the surfaces were in video memory, and the blit returns \fB-2\fR, the video memory was lost, so it should be reloaded with artwork and re-blitted:
48 \f(CW while ( SDL_BlitSurface(image, imgrect, screen, dstrect) == -2 ) {
49 while ( SDL_LockSurface(image)) < 0 )
51 -- Write image pixels to image->pixels --
52 SDL_UnlockSurface(image);
56 This happens under DirectX 5\&.0 when the system switches away from your fullscreen application\&. Locking the surface will also fail until you have access to the video memory again\&.
