Creating image files from surfaces

SDL Development

Hi,

Is there a simple way to create image files (say PNGs) from surfaces? I want to load a large surface, and make separate images from this surface, I guess creating a rect and moving around the large surface…

Thanks

There was IMG_SavePNG.c somewhere on this ML some time ago.–

Hey,

You can use SDL_SaveBMP() if you don’t mind large file sizes, but you may be able to adapt the source code from SFontMaker to save PNGs. Run a Google search for sfontmaker and download the source. It has the file “png_save.c”. Also, someone recently pointed me to a PNG saving function that I would share if asked. I haven’t spent any time comparing the two, but I’d assume they’re very similar.
