Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2003 16:28:10 +0300 From: "Mike Gorchak" Subject: Re: SDL 1.2.6 - minor changes about shared library building under QNX6 into README.QNX - added forgotten libSDLmain.a into distribution, SDL.qpg.in - added header guards to the all headers. - fixed fullscreen double buffered mode. - fixed Photon crashes after/during using fullscreen OpenGL modes. - added GL_MakeCurrent function. - added SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE event, when OpenGL window have been resized - added more HAVE_OPENGL checks to avoid dead code compilation without using OpenGL - finished code reorganization (began into previous patches).

.TH "SDL_VideoModeOK" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_VideoModeOK\- Check to see if a particular video mode is supported\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_VideoModeOK\fP\fR(\fBint width, int height, int bpp, Uint32 flags\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_VideoModeOK\fP returns \fB0\fR if the requested mode is not supported under any bit depth, or returns the bits-per-pixel of the closest available mode with the given width, height and requested \fIsurface\fR flags (see \fI\fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP\fR)\&.
.PP
The bits-per-pixel value returned is only a suggested mode\&. You can usually request and bpp you want when \fIsetting\fR the video mode and SDL will emulate that color depth with a shadow video surface\&.
.PP
The arguments to \fBSDL_VideoModeOK\fP are the same ones you would pass to \fISDL_SetVideoMode\fR
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.PP
.nf
\f(CWSDL_Surface *screen;
Uint32 bpp;

printf("Checking mode 640x480@16bpp\&.

if(!bpp){
  printf("Mode not available\&.
");
  exit(-1);
}

printf("SDL Recommends 640x480@%dbpp\&.
", bpp);
