SDL_LockTexture

Use this function to lock a portion of the texture for write-only pixel access.

Syntax

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

Function Parameters

texture

the texture to lock for access, which was created with SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING

rect

an SDL_Rect structure representing the area to lock for access; NULL to lock the entire texture

pixels

this is filled in with a pointer to the locked pixels, appropriately offset by the locked area

pitch

this is filled in with the pitch of the locked pixels; the pitch is the length of one row in bytes

Return Value

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code if the texture is not valid or was not created with SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

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.
