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

Remarks
The pixel data must be in the pixel format of the texture. Use SDL_QueryTexture() to query the pixel format of the texture.
This is a fairly slow function, intended for use with static textures that do not change often.
If the texture is intended to be updated often, it is preferred to create the texture as streaming and use the locking functions referenced below. While this function will work with streaming textures, for optimization reasons you may not get the pixels back if you lock the texture afterward.
