SDL_UpdateRect(3)						 SDL API Reference						 SDL_UpdateRect(3)

NAME

       SDL_UpdateRect - Makes sure the given area is updated on the given screen.

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL.h"

       void SDL_UpdateRect(SDL_Surface *screen, Sint32 x, Sint32 y, Sint32 w, Sint32 h);

DESCRIPTION

       Makes  sure  the  given	area  is  updated on the given screen. The rectangle must be confined within the screen boundaries (no clipping is
       done).

       If 'x', 'y', 'w' and 'h' are all 0, SDL_UpdateRect will update the entire screen.

       This function should not be called while 'screen' is locked.

NAME

       SDL_BlitSurface- This performs a fast blit from the source surface to the destination surface.

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL.h"

       int SDL_BlitSurface(SDL_Surface *src, SDL_Rect *srcrect, SDL_Surface *dst, SDL_Rect *dstrect);

DESCRIPTION

       This performs a fast blit from the source surface to the destination surface.

       Only the position is used in the dstrect (the width and height are ignored).

       If either srcrect or dstrect are NULL, the entire surface (src or dst) is copied.

       The final blit rectangle is saved in dstrect after all clipping is performed (srcrect is not modified).

       The blit function should not be called on a locked surface.

       The  results  of  blitting operations vary greatly depending on whether SDL_SRCAPLHA is set or not. See SDL_SetAlpha for an explaination of
       how this affects your results. Colorkeying and alpha attributes also interact with surface blitting, as the  following  pseudo-code  should
       hopefully explain.

       if (source surface has SDL_SRCALPHA set) {
	   if (source surface has alpha channel (that is, format->Amask != 0))
	       blit using per-pixel alpha, ignoring any colour key
	   else {
	       if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
		   blit using the colour key AND the per-surface alpha value
	       else
		   blit using the per-surface alpha value
	   }
       } else {
	   if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
	       blit using the colour key
	   else
	       ordinary opaque rectangular blit
       }

RETURN VALUE

       If the blit is successful, it returns 0, otherwise it returns -1.

       If  either  of the surfaces were in video memory, and the blit returns -2, the video memory was lost, so it should be reloaded with artwork
       and re-blitted:

	       while ( SDL_BlitSurface(image, imgrect, screen, dstrect) == -2 ) {
		       while ( SDL_LockSurface(image)) < 0 )
			       Sleep(10);
		       -- Write image pixels to image->pixels --
		       SDL_UnlockSurface(image);
	       }

	This happens under DirectX 5.0 when the system switches away from your fullscreen application. Locking the surface will  also  fail  until
       you have access to the video memory again.
