Fixed bug 944 Tatu Kilappa 2010-02-11 12:13:20 PST When compiling with -Wconversion, gcc complains about a cast in SDL_endian.h that might change the result as we are casting from an int into an Uint16. This is of course not visible unless we are on a non-x86 platform where the assembler is not available. While it's not really an error, the warning is really annoying. To fix, change SDL_endian.h line 87 to: return(Uint16)((x<<8)|(x>>8)); Thank you.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha \- Convert a surface to the display format
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_Surface *\fBSDL_DisplayFormatAlpha\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function takes a surface and copies it to a new surface of the pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer plus an alpha channel, suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface\&. It calls \fISDL_ConvertSurface\fR
.PP
If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before calling this function\&.
.PP
This function can be used to convert a colourkey to an alpha channel, if the \fBSDL_SRCCOLORKEY\fP flag is set on the surface\&. The generated surface will then be transparent (alpha=0) where the pixels match the colourkey, and opaque (alpha=255) elsewhere\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
If the conversion fails or runs out of memory, it returns \fBNULL\fR
.SH "SEE ALSO"
