Detailed Description

An abstract base class for graphical surfaces.

Surfaces represent areas of "graphical" memory, memory that can be drawn to. The video framebuffer is returned as a VideoSurface by SetVideoMode() and GetVideoSurface(). Ordinary (non-framebuffer surfaces) are represented by a Surface. The clipping rectangle returned by clip_rect() can be set with SetClipRect() method.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SDLmm::BaseSurface::BaseSurface ( SDL_Surface * surface ) [inline, explicit, protected]

Constructor from an SDL_Surface*.
This creates a new BaseSurface object from an existing SDL_Surface. Note that ownership of the SDL_Surface is passed on to the BaseSurface. It's very important not to free the original surface since that will cause a problem when the object is destructed (SDL_Surface storage freed twice). Use with caution.

SDLmm::BaseSurface::BaseSurface ( const BaseSurface & other ) [inline, protected]

SDLmm::BaseSurface::~BaseSurface ( ) [inline, virtual]

The destructor.

Member Function Documentation

int SDLmm::BaseSurface::Blit ( const BaseSurface & src,

const SDL_Rect & srcrect,

const SPoint & dstpoint )

Fast blit the specified area part of the source surface onto this surface at the specified coordinates.
The choosen rectangle of the source surface will be blitted to this surface. If the source area is larger than the destination, clipping will occur. No scaling will be performed. Blitting should not be used on a locked surface. The entire surface will be copied to this surface using this function.

Returns:
If the blit is successful, it returns 0, otherwise it returns -1. If either of the surfaces were in video memory, and the blit returns -2, the video memory was lost. It should be reloaded with artwork and re-blitted.
Parameters:

src the surface to blit from.

srcrect the rectangular area to copy from the source surface.

dstpoint the destination coordinates.

int SDLmm::BaseSurface::Blit ( const BaseSurface & src,

const SDL_Rect & srcrect,

const SPoint & dstpoint,

SDL_Rect & dstrect ) [inline]

Fast blit the specified area part of the source surface onto this surface at the specified coordinates.
The choosen rectangle of the source surface will be blitted to this surface. If the source area is larger than the destination, clipping will occur. No scaling will be performed. Blitting should not be used on a locked surface. The entire surface will be copied to this surface using this function. The final blit rectangle is saved in dstrect after all clipping is performed (srcrect is not modified).

Returns:
If the blit is successful, it returns 0, otherwise it returns -1. If either of the surfaces were in video memory, and the blit returns -2, the video memory was lost. It should be reloaded with artwork and re-blitted.
Parameters:

src the surface to blit from.

srcrect the rectangular area to copy from the source surface.

dstpoint the destination coordinates.

dstrect the final position and size is set upon returning.

bool SDLmm::BaseSurface::SetAlpha ( Uint32 flag,

Uint8 alpha )

Adjust the alpha properties of this surface.
SetAlpha is used for setting the surface alpha value and / or enabling and disabling alpha blending.
Parameters:

flag used to specify whether alpha blending should be used (SDL_SRCALPHA) and whether the surface should use RLE acceleration for blitting (SDL_RLEACCEL). flag can be an OR'd combination of these two options, one of these options or 0. If SDL_SRCALPHA is not passed as a flag then all alpha information is ignored when blitting the surface.

alpha the per-surface alpha value; a surface need not have an alpha channel to use per-surface alpha and blitting can still be accelerated with SDL_RLEACCEL.

Note:
The per-surface alpha value of 128 is considered a special case and is optimised, so it's much faster than other per-surface values.

Returns:
true for success or false if there was an error.

void SDLmm::BaseSurface::SetClipRect ( const SDL_Rect & rect )

Sets the clipping rectangle for the surface.
Sets the clipping rectangle for a surface. When this surface is the destination of a blit, only the area within the clip rectangle will be drawn into.
Parameters:

rect The rectangle pointed to by rect will be clipped to the edges of the surface so that the clip rectangle for a surface can never fall outside the edges of the surface.

See also:
GetClipRect, ResetClipRect, Blit

bool SDLmm::BaseSurface::SetColorKey ( Uint32 flag,

Color key )

Sets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable surface and enables or disables RLE blit acceleration.
RLE acceleration can substantially speed up blitting of images with large horizontal runs of transparent pixels (i.e., pixels that match the key value). The key must be of the same pixel format as the surface, MapRGB() is often useful for obtaining an acceptable value.

Returns:
Returns true for success, false if there was an error.
Parameters:

flag If

bool SDLmm::BaseSurface::SetDisplayFormat ( ) [pure virtual]

Convert the surface to the display format.
This function converts the surface to the pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer, making it suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface.
If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before calling this function.

Returns:
The functions returns true if the conversion succeeded or false otherwise. If the conversion failed, the BaseSurface object will not have changed.

Note:
Please note that this function doesn't return a new, modified object like the SDL_DisplayFormat() function does. Thus there is no need to manually free the old surface.

See also:
SetDisplayFormatAlpha(), SetAlpha(), SetColorKey()

Reimplemented in SDLmm::Display, and SDLmm::Surface.

bool SDLmm::BaseSurface::SetDisplayFormatAlpha ( ) [pure virtual]

Convert the surface to the display format.
This function converts the surface to the pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer plus an alpha channel, making it suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface.
If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before calling this function.

Returns:
The functions returns true if the conversion succeeded or false otherwise. If the conversion failed, the BaseSurface object will not have changed.

Note:
Please note that this function doesn't return a new, modified object like the SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha() function does. Thus there is no need to manually free the old surface.
