Emphasized the separation between SDL_Surface and SDL_Texture - SDL_Surface is a system memory representation of pixel data - SDL_Texture is a video memory representation of pixel data The concept of SDL_Surface with SDL_HWSURFACE is no longer used. Separated SDL_Texture types by usage rather than memory type - SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STATIC is for rarely changed pixel data, can be placed in video memory. - SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING is for frequently changing pixel data, usually placed in system memory or AGP memory. Optimized the SDL_compat usage of the OpenGL renderer by only using one copy of the framebuffer instead of two.

.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\&.
