Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 18:20:25 +0200 From: Joost Baas Subject: why call arts artsc? I, and a few other people at the mplayer-docs-mailinglist were wondering why you decided to call arts artsc. I understand usually users have nothing to do with libsdl, just developers, but because you can choose the audio-driver being used by mplayer, one of which is sdl, and you can also choose the sdl subdriver, it is necessary to have a well-known or logical name. artsc is not the logical choice, and it's very hard to look up the right name if you don't know what you're looking for.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_UpdateRects\- Makes sure the given list of rectangles is updated on the given screen\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBvoid \fBSDL_UpdateRects\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *screen, int numrects, SDL_Rect *rects\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Makes sure the given list of rectangles is updated on the given screen\&. The rectangles must all be confined within the screen boundaries (no clipping is done)\&.
.PP
This function should not be called while \fBscreen\fR is \fIlocked\fR\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
It is adviced to call this function only once per frame, since each call has some processing overhead\&. This is no restriction since you can pass any number of rectangles each time\&.
.PP
The rectangles are not automatically merged or checked for overlap\&. In general, the programmer can use his knowledge about his particular rectangles to merge them in an efficient way, to avoid overdraw\&.
