Up until version 1.1.5, an alpha value of 0 was considered opaque and a value of 255 was considered transparent. This has now been inverted: 0 (<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT</TT >) is now considered transparent and 255 (<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_ALPHA_OPAQUE</TT >) is now considered opaque.</P ></BLOCKQUOTE ></DIV ><P ><TT CLASS="FUNCTION" >SDL_SetAlpha</TT > is used for setting the per-surface alpha and/or enabling and disabling per-pixel alpha blending.</P ><P >The <TT CLASS="PARAMETER" ><I >surface</I ></TT > parameter specifies which surface whose alpha attributes you wish to adjust. <TT CLASS="PARAMETER" ><I >flags</I ></TT > is used to specify whether alpha blending should be used (<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_SRCALPHA</TT >) and whether the surface should use RLE acceleration for blitting (<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_RLEACCEL</TT >). <TT CLASS="PARAMETER" ><I >flags</I ></TT > can be an OR'd combination of these two options, one of these options or 0. If <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_SRCALPHA</TT > is not passed as a flag then all alpha information is ignored when blitting the surface. The <TT CLASS="PARAMETER" ><I >alpha</I ></TT > parameter is 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 <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_RLEACCEL</TT >. Setting the per-surface alpha value to 0 disables per-surface alpha blending.</P ><DIV CLASS="NOTE" ><BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="NOTE" ><P ><B >Note: </B >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.</P ></BLOCKQUOTE ></DIV ><P >Alpha effects surface blitting in the following ways:</P ><DIV CLASS="INFORMALTABLE" ><A NAME="AEN1642" ></A ><P ></P ><TABLE BORDER="0" CLASS="CALSTABLE" ><TBODY ><TR ><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" >RGBA->RGB with <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_SRCALPHA</TT ></TD ><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" ><P >The source is alpha-blended with the destination, using the alpha channel. <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_SRCCOLORKEY</TT > and the per-surface alpha are ignored.</P ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" >RGBA->RGB without <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >SDL_SRCALPHA</TT ></TD ><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" ><P >The RGB data is copied from the source.
