CategoryRender

Header file for SDL 2D rendering functions.

This API supports the following features:

  • single pixel points
  • single pixel lines
  • filled rectangles
  • texture images
  • 2D polygons

The primitives may be drawn in opaque, blended, or additive modes.

The texture images may be drawn in opaque, blended, or additive modes. They can have an additional color tint or alpha modulation applied to them, and may also be stretched with linear interpolation.

This API is designed to accelerate simple 2D operations. You may want more functionality such as polygons and particle effects and in that case you should use SDL's OpenGL/Direct3D support, the SDL3 GPU API, or one of the many good 3D engines.

These functions must be called from the main thread. See this bug for details: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/986 The name of the software renderer.

This macro is available since SDL 3.1.3.

Function Documentation

◆ SDL_AddVulkanRenderSemaphores()

bool SDL_AddVulkanRenderSemaphores ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
Uint32  wait_stage_mask,
Sint64  wait_semaphore,
Sint64  signal_semaphore 
)
extern

Add a set of synchronization semaphores for the current frame.

The Vulkan renderer will wait for wait_semaphore before submitting rendering commands and signal signal_semaphore after rendering commands are complete for this frame.

This should be called each frame that you want semaphore synchronization. The Vulkan renderer may have multiple frames in flight on the GPU, so you should have multiple semaphores that are used for synchronization. Querying SDL_PROP_RENDERER_VULKAN_SWAPCHAIN_IMAGE_COUNT_NUMBER will give you the maximum number of semaphores you'll need.

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
wait_stage_maskthe VkPipelineStageFlags for the wait.
wait_semaphorea VkSempahore to wait on before rendering the current frame, or 0 if not needed.
signal_semaphorea VkSempahore that SDL will signal when rendering for the current frame is complete, or 0 if not needed.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

\threadsafety It is NOT safe to call this function from two threads at once.

Since
This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.

◆ SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates()

bool SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
SDL_Event event 
)
extern

Convert the coordinates in an event to render coordinates.

This takes into account several states:

  • The window dimensions.
  • The logical presentation settings (SDL_SetRenderLogicalPresentation)
  • The scale (SDL_SetRenderScale)
  • The viewport (SDL_SetRenderViewport)

Various event types are converted with this function: mouse, touch, pen, etc.

Touch coordinates are converted from normalized coordinates in the window to non-normalized rendering coordinates.

Relative mouse coordinates (xrel and yrel event fields) are also converted. Applications that do not want these fields converted should use SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow() on the specific event fields instead of converting the entire event structure.

Once converted, coordinates may be outside the rendering area.

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
eventthe event to modify.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

\threadsafety This function should only be called on the main thread.

Since
This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.

SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow

◆ SDL_CreateRenderer()

SDL_Renderer * SDL_CreateRenderer ( SDL_Window window,
const char *  name 
)
extern

Create a 2D rendering context for a window.

If you want a specific renderer, you can specify its name here. A list of available renderers can be obtained by calling SDL_GetRenderDriver() multiple times, with indices from 0 to SDL_GetNumRenderDrivers()-1. If you don't need a specific renderer, specify NULL and SDL will attempt to choose the best option for you, based on what is available on the user's system.

By default the rendering size matches the window size in pixels, but you can call SDL_SetRenderLogicalPresentation() to change the content size and scaling options.

Parameters
windowthe window where rendering is displayed.
namethe name of the rendering driver to initialize, or NULL to let SDL choose one.
Returns
a valid rendering context or NULL if there was an error; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

\threadsafety This function should only be called on the main thread.

Since
This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.

◆ SDL_CreateRendererWithProperties()

SDL_Renderer * SDL_CreateRendererWithProperties ( SDL_PropertiesID  props)
extern

Create a 2D rendering context for a window, with the specified properties.

These are the supported properties:

  • SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_NAME_STRING: the name of the rendering driver to use, if a specific one is desired
  • SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_WINDOW_POINTER: the window where rendering is displayed, required if this isn't a software renderer using a surface
  • SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_SURFACE_POINTER: the surface where rendering is displayed, if you want a software renderer without a window
  • SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_OUTPUT_COLORSPACE_NUMBER: an SDL_Colorspace value describing the colorspace for output to the display, defaults to SDL_COLORSPACE_SRGB. The direct3d11, direct3d12, and metal renderers support SDL_COLORSPACE_SRGB_LINEAR, which is a linear color space and supports HDR output. If you select SDL_COLORSPACE_SRGB_LINEAR, drawing still uses the sRGB colorspace, but values can go beyond 1.0 and float (linear) format textures can be used for HDR content.
  • SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_PRESENT_VSYNC_NUMBER: non-zero if you want present synchronized with the refresh rate. This property can take any value that is supported by SDL_SetRenderVSync() for the renderer.

With the vulkan renderer:

  • SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_VULKAN_INSTANCE_POINTER: the VkInstance to use with the renderer, optional.
  • SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_VULKAN_SURFACE_NUMBER: the VkSurfaceKHR to use with the renderer, optional.

◆ SDL_CreateTextureWithProperties()

SDL_Texture * SDL_CreateTextureWithProperties ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
SDL_PropertiesID  props 
)
extern

Create a texture for a rendering context with the specified properties.

These are the supported properties:

  • SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_CREATE_COLORSPACE_NUMBER: an SDL_Colorspace value describing the texture colorspace, defaults to SDL_COLORSPACE_SRGB_LINEAR for floating point textures, SDL_COLORSPACE_HDR10 for 10-bit textures, SDL_COLORSPACE_SRGB for other RGB textures and SDL_COLORSPACE_JPEG for YUV textures.

  • SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_CREATE_HEIGHT_NUMBER: the height of the texture in pixels, required
  • SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_CREATE_SDR_WHITE_POINT_FLOAT: for HDR10 and floating point textures, this defines the value of 100% diffuse white, with higher values being displayed in the High Dynamic Range headroom. This defaults to 100 for HDR10 textures and 1.0 for floating point textures.
  • SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_CREATE_HDR_HEADROOM_FLOAT: for HDR10 and floating point textures, this defines the maximum dynamic range used by the content, in terms of the SDR white point. This would be equivalent to maxCLL / SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_CREATE_SDR_WHITE_POINT_FLOAT for HDR10 content. If this is defined, any values outside the range supported by the display will be scaled into the available HDR headroom, otherwise they are clipped.

◆ SDL_FlushRenderer()

bool SDL_FlushRenderer ( SDL_Renderer renderer)
extern

Force the rendering context to flush any pending commands and state.

You do not need to (and in fact, shouldn't) call this function unless you are planning to call into OpenGL/Direct3D/Metal/whatever directly, in addition to using an SDL_Renderer.

This is for a very-specific case: if you are using SDL's render API, and you plan to make OpenGL/D3D/whatever calls in addition to SDL render API calls. If this applies, you should call this function between calls to SDL's render API and the low-level API you're using in cooperation.

In all other cases, you can ignore this function.

This call makes SDL flush any pending rendering work it was queueing up to do later in a single batch, and marks any internal cached state as invalid, so it'll prepare all its state again later, from scratch.

This means you do not need to save state in your rendering code to protect the SDL renderer. However, there lots of arbitrary pieces of Direct3D and OpenGL state that can confuse things; you should use your best judgment and be prepared to make changes if specific state needs to be protected.

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_LockTexture()

bool SDL_LockTexture ( SDL_Texture texture,
const SDL_Rect rect,
void **  pixels,
int *  pitch 
)
extern

Lock a portion of the texture for write-only pixel access.

As an optimization, the pixels made available for editing don't necessarily contain the old texture data. This is a write-only operation, and if you need to keep a copy of the texture data you should do that at the application level.

You must use SDL_UnlockTexture() to unlock the pixels and apply any changes.

Parameters
texturethe texture to lock for access, which was created with SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING.
rectan SDL_Rect structure representing the area to lock for access; NULL to lock the entire texture.
pixelsthis is filled in with a pointer to the locked pixels, appropriately offset by the locked area.
pitchthis is filled in with the pitch of the locked pixels; the pitch is the length of one row in bytes.
Returns
true on success or false if the texture is not valid or was not created with SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_LockTextureToSurface()

bool SDL_LockTextureToSurface ( SDL_Texture texture,
const SDL_Rect rect,
SDL_Surface **  surface 
)
extern

Lock a portion of the texture for write-only pixel access, and expose it as a SDL surface.

Besides providing an SDL_Surface instead of raw pixel data, this function operates like SDL_LockTexture.

As an optimization, the pixels made available for editing don't necessarily contain the old texture data. This is a write-only operation, and if you need to keep a copy of the texture data you should do that at the application level.

You must use SDL_UnlockTexture() to unlock the pixels and apply any changes.

The returned surface is freed internally after calling SDL_UnlockTexture() or SDL_DestroyTexture(). The caller should not free it.

Parameters
texturethe texture to lock for access, which must be created with SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING.
recta pointer to the rectangle to lock for access. If the rect is NULL, the entire texture will be locked.
surfacea pointer to an SDL surface of size rect. Don't assume any specific pixel content.

◆ SDL_RenderDebugText()

bool SDL_RenderDebugText ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
float  x,
float  y,
const char *  str 
)
extern

Draw debug text to an SDL_Renderer.

This function will render a string of text to an SDL_Renderer. Note that this is a convenience function for debugging, with severe limitations, and not intended to be used for production apps and games.

Among these limitations:

  • It accepts UTF-8 strings, but will only renders ASCII characters.
  • It has a single, tiny size (8x8 pixels). One can use logical presentation or scaling to adjust it, but it will be blurry.
  • It uses a simple, hardcoded bitmap font. It does not allow different font selections and it does not support truetype, for proper scaling.
  • It does no word-wrapping and does not treat newline characters as a line break. If the text goes out of the window, it's gone.

For serious text rendering, there are several good options, such as SDL_ttf, stb_truetype, or other external libraries.

On first use, this will create an internal texture for rendering glyphs. This texture will live until the renderer is destroyed.

The text is drawn in the color specified by SDL_SetRenderDrawColor().

Parameters
rendererthe renderer which should draw a line of text.
xthe x coordinate where the top-left corner of the text will draw.
ythe y coordinate where the top-left corner of the text will draw.
strthe string to render.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_RenderPresent()

bool SDL_RenderPresent ( SDL_Renderer renderer)
extern

Update the screen with any rendering performed since the previous call.

SDL's rendering functions operate on a backbuffer; that is, calling a rendering function such as SDL_RenderLine() does not directly put a line on the screen, but rather updates the backbuffer. As such, you compose your entire scene and present the composed backbuffer to the screen as a complete picture.

Therefore, when using SDL's rendering API, one does all drawing intended for the frame, and then calls this function once per frame to present the final drawing to the user.

The backbuffer should be considered invalidated after each present; do not assume that previous contents will exist between frames. You are strongly encouraged to call SDL_RenderClear() to initialize the backbuffer before starting each new frame's drawing, even if you plan to overwrite every pixel.

Please note, that in case of rendering to a texture - there is no need to call SDL_RenderPresent after drawing needed objects to a texture, and should not be done; you are only required to change back the rendering target to default via SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, NULL) afterwards, as textures by themselves do not have a concept of backbuffers. Calling SDL_RenderPresent while rendering to a texture will still update the screen with any current drawing that has been done to the window itself.

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_SetRenderLogicalPresentation()

bool SDL_SetRenderLogicalPresentation ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
int  w,
int  h,
SDL_RendererLogicalPresentation  mode 
)
extern

Set a device independent resolution and presentation mode for rendering.

This function sets the width and height of the logical rendering output. The renderer will act as if the window is always the requested dimensions, scaling to the actual window resolution as necessary.

This can be useful for games that expect a fixed size, but would like to scale the output to whatever is available, regardless of how a user resizes a window, or if the display is high DPI.

You can disable logical coordinates by setting the mode to SDL_LOGICAL_PRESENTATION_DISABLED, and in that case you get the full pixel resolution of the output window; it is safe to toggle logical presentation during the rendering of a frame: perhaps most of the rendering is done to specific dimensions but to make fonts look sharp, the app turns off logical presentation while drawing text.

Letterboxing will only happen if logical presentation is enabled during SDL_RenderPresent; be sure to reenable it first if you were using it.

You can convert coordinates in an event into rendering coordinates using SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates().

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
wthe width of the logical resolution.
hthe height of the logical resolution.
modethe presentation mode used.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

\threadsafety This function should only be called on the main thread.

◆ SDL_SetRenderScale()

bool SDL_SetRenderScale ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
float  scaleX,
float  scaleY 
)
extern

Set the drawing scale for rendering on the current target.

The drawing coordinates are scaled by the x/y scaling factors before they are used by the renderer. This allows resolution independent drawing with a single coordinate system.

If this results in scaling or subpixel drawing by the rendering backend, it will be handled using the appropriate quality hints. For best results use integer scaling factors.

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
scaleXthe horizontal scaling factor.
scaleYthe vertical scaling factor.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

\threadsafety This function should only be called on the main thread.

◆ SDL_SetRenderTarget()

bool SDL_SetRenderTarget ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
SDL_Texture texture 
)
extern

Set a texture as the current rendering target.

The default render target is the window for which the renderer was created. To stop rendering to a texture and render to the window again, call this function with a NULL texture.

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
texturethe targeted texture, which must be created with the SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET flag, or NULL to render to the window instead of a texture.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_SetRenderViewport()

bool SDL_SetRenderViewport ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
const SDL_Rect rect 
)
extern

Set the drawing area for rendering on the current target.

Drawing will clip to this area (separately from any clipping done with SDL_SetRenderClipRect), and the top left of the area will become coordinate (0, 0) for future drawing commands.

The area's width and height must be >= 0.

Parameters
rendererthe rendering context.
rectthe SDL_Rect structure representing the drawing area, or NULL to set the viewport to the entire target.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_SetRenderVSync()

bool SDL_SetRenderVSync ( SDL_Renderer renderer,
int  vsync 
)
extern

Toggle VSync of the given renderer.

When a renderer is created, vsync defaults to SDL_RENDERER_VSYNC_DISABLED.

The vsync parameter can be 1 to synchronize present with every vertical refresh, 2 to synchronize present with every second vertical refresh, etc., SDL_RENDERER_VSYNC_ADAPTIVE for late swap tearing (adaptive vsync), or SDL_RENDERER_VSYNC_DISABLED to disable. Not every value is supported by every driver, so you should check the return value to see whether the requested setting is supported.

Parameters
rendererthe renderer to toggle.
vsyncthe vertical refresh sync interval.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_UnlockTexture()

void SDL_UnlockTexture ( SDL_Texture texture)
extern

Unlock a texture, uploading the changes to video memory, if needed.

Warning: Please note that SDL_LockTexture() is intended to be write-only; it will not guarantee the previous contents of the texture will be provided. You must fully initialize any area of a texture that you lock before unlocking it, as the pixels might otherwise be uninitialized memory.

Which is to say: locking and immediately unlocking a texture can result in corrupted textures, depending on the renderer in use.

Parameters
texturea texture locked by SDL_LockTexture().

bool SDL_UpdateNVTexture ( SDL_Texture texture,
const SDL_Rect rect,
const Uint8 Yplane,
int  Ypitch,
const Uint8 UVplane,
int  UVpitch 
)
extern

Update a rectangle within a planar NV12 or NV21 texture with new pixels.

You can use SDL_UpdateTexture() as long as your pixel data is a contiguous block of NV12/21 planes in the proper order, but this function is available if your pixel data is not contiguous.

Parameters
texturethe texture to update.
recta pointer to the rectangle of pixels to update, or NULL to update the entire texture.
Yplanethe raw pixel data for the Y plane.
Ypitchthe number of bytes between rows of pixel data for the Y plane.
UVplanethe raw pixel data for the UV plane.
UVpitchthe number of bytes between rows of pixel data for the UV plane.

◆ SDL_UpdateTexture()

bool SDL_UpdateTexture ( SDL_Texture texture,
const SDL_Rect rect,
const void *  pixels,
int  pitch 
)
extern

Update the given texture rectangle with new pixel data.

The pixel data must be in the pixel format of the texture, which can be queried using the SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_FORMAT_NUMBER property.

This is a fairly slow function, intended for use with static textures that do not change often.

If the texture is intended to be updated often, it is preferred to create the texture as streaming and use the locking functions referenced below. While this function will work with streaming textures, for optimization reasons you may not get the pixels back if you lock the texture afterward.

Parameters
texturethe texture to update.
rectan SDL_Rect structure representing the area to update, or NULL to update the entire texture.
pixelsthe raw pixel data in the format of the texture.
pitchthe number of bytes in a row of pixel data, including padding between lines.
Returns
true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

\threadsafety This function should only be called on the main thread.
