SDL_SetTextureAlphaMod

Set an additional alpha value multiplied into render copy operations.

Header File

Defined in SDL_render.h

Syntax

int SDL_SetTextureAlphaMod(SDL_Texture * texture,
                           Uint8 alpha);

Function Parameters

texture the texture to update
alpha the source alpha value multiplied into copy operations

Return Value

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

Remarks

When this texture is rendered, during the copy operation the source alpha value is modulated by this alpha value according to the following formula:

srcA = srcA * (alpha / 255)

Alpha modulation is not always supported by the renderer; it will return -1 if alpha modulation is not supported.

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
