SDL for Snow Leopard!

384 >SDL presents a very simple interface to the display framebuffer. The | |
385 framebuffer is represented as an offscreen surface to which you can write | |
386 directly. If you want the screen to show what you have written, call the <A | |
387 HREF="sdlupdaterects.html" | |
388 >update</A | |
389 > function which will | |
390 guarantee that the desired portion of the screen is updated.</P | |
391 ><P | |
392 >Before you call any of the SDL video functions, you must first call | |
393 <SPAN | |
394 CLASS="TOKEN" | |
395 >SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)</SPAN | |
396 >, which initializes the video | |
397 and events in the SDL library. Check the return code, which should be | |
398 <SPAN | |
399 CLASS="RETURNVALUE" | |
400 >0</SPAN | |
401 >, to see if there were any errors in starting up.</P | |
402 ><P | |
403 >If you use both sound and video in your application, you need to call | |
404 <SPAN | |
405 CLASS="TOKEN" | |
406 >SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO | SDL_INIT_VIDEO)</SPAN | |
407 > before opening the | |
408 sound device, otherwise under Win32 DirectX, you won't be able to set | |
409 full-screen display modes.</P | |
410 ><P | |
411 >After you have initialized the library, you can start up the video display in a | |
412 number of ways. The easiest way is to pick a common screen resolution and | |
413 depth and just initialize the video, checking for errors. You will probably | |
414 get what you want, but SDL may be emulating your requested mode and converting | |
415 the display on update. The best way is to | |
416 <A | |
417 HREF="sdlgetvideoinfo.html" | |
418 >query</A | |
419 >, for the best | |
420 video mode closest to the desired one, and then | |
421 <A | |
422 HREF="sdldisplayformat.html" | |
423 >convert</A | |
424 > | |
425 your images to that pixel format.</P | |
426 ><P | |
427 >SDL currently supports any bit depth >= 8 bits per pixel. 8 bpp formats are | |
428 considered 8-bit palettized modes, while 12, 15, 16, 24, and 32 bits per pixel | |
429 are considered "packed pixel" modes, meaning each pixel contains the RGB color | |
430 components packed in the bits of the pixel.</P | |
431 ><P | |
432 >After you have initialized your video mode, you can take the surface that was | |
433 returned, and write to it like any other framebuffer, calling the update | |
434 routine as you go.</P | |
435 ><P | |
436 >When you have finished your video access and are ready to quit your | |
437 application, you should call "<SPAN | |
438 CLASS="TOKEN" | |
439 >SDL_Quit()</SPAN | |
440 >" to shutdown the | |
441 video and events.</P | |
