>This function and the semantics of SDL alpha blending have changed since version 1.1.4. Up until version 1.1.5, an alpha value of 0 was considered opaque and a value of 255 was considered transparent. This has now been inverted: 0 (<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT</TT
>) is now considered transparent and 255 (<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_ALPHA_OPAQUE</TT
>) is now considered opaque.</P

><P
>The <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>surface</I
></TT
> parameter specifies which surface whose alpha attributes you wish to adjust. <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>flags</I

> is used to specify whether alpha blending should be used (<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_SRCALPHA</TT
>) and whether the surface should use RLE acceleration for blitting (<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_RLEACCEL</TT
>). <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>flags</I
></TT
> can be an OR'd combination of these two options, one of these options or 0. If <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_SRCALPHA</TT
> is not passed as a flag then all alpha information is ignored when blitting the surface. The <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>alpha</I
></TT
> parameter is the per-surface alpha value, a surface need not have an alpha channel to use per-surface alpha and blitting can still be accelerated with <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_RLEACCEL</TT
>. Setting the per-surface alpha value to 0 disables per-surface alpha blending.</P
