Function SDL_ReadSurfacePixel

pub unsafe extern "C" fn SDL_ReadSurfacePixel(
    surface: *mut SDL_Surface,
    x: i32,
    y: i32,

Available on crate feature dep_sdl3 only.
Expand description

Retrieves a single pixel from a surface.

This function prioritizes correctness over speed: it is suitable for unit tests, but is not intended for use in a game engine.

Like SDL_GetRGBA, this uses the entire 0..255 range when converting color components from pixel formats with less than 8 bits per RGB component.

§Parameters

  • surface: the surface to read.
  • x: the horizontal coordinate, 0 <= x < width.
  • y: the vertical coordinate, 0 <= y < height.
  • r: a pointer filled in with the red channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel.
  • g: a pointer filled in with the green channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel.
  • b: a pointer filled in with the blue channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel.
  • a: a pointer filled in with the alpha channel, 0-255, or NULL to ignore this channel.

§Return value

Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

§Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
