Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 21:28:18 -0500 From: Jonathan Atkins Subject: [SDL] SDL_SaveBMP width bugfix this fixes the pitch versus width difference that can happen (especially for 8bit and 24bit (with the exact RGBAmasks) surfaces) when you use SDL_SaveBMP. The problem was the pitch was used instead of the width, which in some cases is much wider than the screen area you really want to save...making for ugly crud on the saved image borders. This code has been tested with & without pitch overhangs...and with the right masks for 24 bit surfaces. I tested 8,15,16,24,32-0RGB,32-RGBA(with no SDL_SRCALPHA flag).

>Description</H2
><P
>Adds a callback function to be run after the specified number of
milliseconds has elapsed. The callback function is passed the current
timer interval and the user supplied parameter from the
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_AddTimer</TT
> call and returns the next timer
interval. If the returned value from the callback is the same as the one
passed in, the periodic alarm continues, otherwise a new alarm is
scheduled.</P
><P
>To cancel a currently running timer call
<A
HREF="sdlremovetimer.html"
>SDL_RemoveTimer</A
> with the
timer ID returned from
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_AddTimer</TT
>.</P
><P
>The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your
main program, and so shouldn't call any functions from within itself.
You may always call <A
HREF="sdlpushevent.html"
>SDL_PushEvent</A
>, however.</P
><P
>The granularity of the timer is platform-dependent, but you should count
on it being at least 10 ms as this is the most common number.
This means that if
you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms
later on an unloaded system.  If you wanted to set a flag signaling
a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a
timer for 30 ms (see example below).

If you use this function, you need to pass <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_INIT_TIMER</TT
>
to <A
HREF="sdlinit.html"
>SDL_Init</A
>.</P
