6 SDL_SetColorKey - Sets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable
7 surface and RLE acceleration.

12 int SDL_SetColorKey(SDL_Surface *surface, Uint32 flag, Uint32 key);
13
15 Sets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable surface and
16 enables or disables RLE blit acceleration.
17
18 RLE acceleration can substantially speed up blitting of images with
19 large horizontal runs of transparent pixels (i.e., pixels that match
20 the key value). The key must be of the same pixel format as the sur‐
21 face, SDL_MapRGB is often useful for obtaining an acceptable value.
22
23 If flag is SDL_SRCCOLORKEY then key is the transparent pixel value in
24 the source image of a blit.
25
26 If flag is OR'd with SDL_RLEACCEL then the surface will be draw using
27 RLE acceleration when drawn with SDL_BlitSurface. The surface will
28 actually be encoded for RLE acceleration the first time SDL_BlitSurface
29 or SDL_DisplayFormat is called on the surface.
30
31 If flag is 0, this function clears any current color key.
32
34 This function returns 0, or -1 if there was an error.
