enum video::fake

strong

For describing the type of faked display, if any.

fake::no_window never tries to create a window, or draw anything. fake::no_draw does create an offscreen window, but does not draw to it. fake::hide_window creates a window as normal, but does not display it.

◆ force_render_target()

void video::force_render_target ( const texture & t )

Set the render target, without any provided way of setting it back.

End-users should not use this function directly. In stead use draw::set_render_target(), which returns a setter object which will automatically restore the render target upon leaving scope.

Parameters

t	The new render target. This must be a texture created with SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, or an empty texture to indicate the underlying window.

◆ game_canvas()

rect video::game_canvas ( )

The game canvas area, in drawing coordinates.

This is the "screen area", as seen by game systems, and as used for specifying where to draw things on-screen. It may differ, in high-dpi contexts, from input area, window area, and output area.

Usually this is the only area game components should use or care about.

The units it uses can be considered "pixels". Final output will be rendered in higher resolution automatically if and when appropriate.

◆ input_area()

rect video::input_area ( )

Returns the input area of the window, in display coordinates.

This can be slightly offset within the window, if the drawable area is not the same as the full window area. This will happen if output size is not a perfect multiple of the draw size.

In general this will be almost, but not quite, equal to window_size().

◆ read_pixels()

surface video::read_pixels ( SDL_Rect * r = nullptr )

Copy back a portion of the render target that is already drawn.

This area is specified in draw coordinates, not render coordinates. Thus the size of the retrieved surface may not match the size of r.

If not null, r will be automatically clipped to the drawing area.

Note: This is a very slow function! Its use should be phased out for everything except maybe screenshots.

Parameters

r	The portion of the render target to retrieve, in draw coordinates. If not null, this will be modified to reflect the portion of the draw area that has been returned.
