SDL_RenderReadPixels

Use this function to read pixels from the current rendering target to an array of pixels.

Syntax

int SDL_RenderReadPixels(SDL_Renderer*   renderer,
                         const SDL_Rect* rect,
                         Uint32          format,
                         void*           pixels,
                         int             pitch)

Function Parameters

renderer

the rendering context

rect

an SDL_Rect structure representing the area to read, or NULL for the entire render target

format

the desired format of the pixel data, or 0 to use the format of the rendering target; see Remarks for details

pixels

a pointer to the pixel data to copy into

pitch

the pitch of the pixels parameter; see Remarks for details

Return Value

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

/!\ WARNING: This is a very slow operation, and should not be used frequently.

pitch specifies the number of bytes between rows in the destination pixels data. This allows you to write to a subrectangle or have padded rows in the destination. Generally, pitch should equal the number of pixels per row in the pixels data times the number of bytes per pixel, but it might contain additional padding (for example, 24bit RGB Windows Bitmap data pads all rows to multiples of 4 bytes).

format may be one of the following:
