(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

Get the CAMetalLayer associated with the given Metal renderer.

Header File

Syntax

void* SDL_GetRenderMetalLayer(SDL_Renderer *renderer);

Function Parameters

Return Value

Returns a CAMetalLayer * on success, or NULL if the renderer isn't a Metal renderer

Remarks

This function returns void *, so SDL doesn't have to include Metal's headers, but it can be safely cast to a CAMetalLayer *.
