Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 04:23:16 -0500 From: Jonathan Atkins Subject: Re: [PATCH] *CRITICAL* 8bit direct RGB palette not being created I think that SDL_AllocFormat should create the palette for all 8bit surfaces. And when the RGBAmasks match the normal 3:3:2:0 we need to apply the old behavior. If the mask doesn't match that, then we need to make the right palette assuming the masks are valid (I don't think we validate any masks for high color surfaces...so we wouldn't here) Then there's always a palette available for the 8bit surfaces. This restores the normal behavior and allows for masks to create palettes automatically for odd masks even, which would be a neato thing to have in there, as SDL never did this before.

.TH "SDL_LockSurface" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_LockSurface\- Lock a surface for directly access\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_LockSurface\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_LockSurface\fP sets up a surface for directly accessing the pixels\&. Between calls to \fBSDL_LockSurface\fP and \fBSDL_UnlockSurface\fP, you can write to and read from \fBsurface->\fBpixels\fR\fR, using the pixel format stored in \fBsurface->\fBformat\fR\fR\&. Once you are done accessing the surface, you should use \fBSDL_UnlockSurface\fP to release it\&.
.PP
Not all surfaces require locking\&. If \fBSDL_MUSTLOCK\fP(\fBsurface\fR) evaluates to \fB0\fR, then you can read and write to the surface at any time, and the pixel format of the surface will not change\&. 
.PP
No operating system or library calls should be made between lock/unlock pairs, as critical system locks may be held during this time\&.
.PP
It should be noted, that since SDL 1\&.1\&.8 surface locks are recursive\&. This means that you can lock a surface multiple times, but each lock must have a match unlock\&. 
.PP

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBSDL_LockSurface\fP returns \fB0\fR, or \fB-1\fR if the surface couldn\&'t be locked\&.
