13 If \fBdepth\fR is 8 bits an empty palette is allocated for the surface, otherwise a \&'packed-pixel\&' \fI\fBSDL_PixelFormat\fR\fR is created using the \fB[RGBA]mask\fR\&'s provided (see \fI\fBSDL_PixelFormat\fR\fR)\&. The \fBflags\fR specifies the type of surface that should be created, it is an OR\&'d combination of the following possible values\&.

16 SDL will create the surface in system memory\&. This improves the performance of pixel level access, however you may not be able to take advantage of some types of hardware blitting\&.

19 SDL will attempt to create the surface in video memory\&. This will allow SDL to take advantage of Video->Video blits (which are often accelerated)\&.

22 This flag turns on colourkeying for blits from this surface\&. If \fBSDL_HWSURFACE\fP is also specified and colourkeyed blits are hardware-accelerated, then SDL will attempt to place the surface in video memory\&. Use \fI\fBSDL_SetColorKey\fP\fR to set or clear this flag after surface creation\&.

30 If an alpha-channel is specified (that is, if \fBAmask\fR is nonzero), then the \fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP flag is automatically set\&. You may remove this flag by calling \fI\fBSDL_SetAlpha\fP\fR after surface creation\&.
