NAME

       SDL_CreateSurfaceFrom - Allocate a new surface with a specific pixel format and existing pixel data.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <SDL3/SDL_surface.h>

       SDL_Surface * SDL_CreateSurfaceFrom(int width, int height, SDL_PixelFormat format, void *pixels, int pitch);

DESCRIPTION

       No  copy  is  made  of the pixel data. Pixel data is not managed automatically; you must free the surface
       before you free the pixel data.

       Pitch  is  the  offset  in  bytes  from  one  row  of   pixels   to   the   next,   e.g.    width*4   for
       SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888.

       You  may pass NULL for pixels and 0 for pitch to create a surface that you will fill in with valid values
       later.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       width  the width of the surface.

       height the height of the surface.

       format the SDL_PixelFormat for the new surface's pixel format.

       pixels a pointer to existing pixel data.

       pitch  the number of bytes between each row, including padding.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the new SDL_Surface structure that is created or NULL on failure; call  SDL_GetError()  for  more
       information.

THREAD SAFETY

       It is safe to call this function from any thread.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
