Syntax

int SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(SDL_Renderer* renderer,
                           Uint8         r,
                           Uint8         g,
                           Uint8         b,
                           Uint8         a)

Code Examples

SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255, 0, 0, 255);
