Contents
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.
