Creating multiple surfaces from one

SDL Development
1

hi, i am currently trying to make several distinct SDL_Surfaces from one
surface. i load in a bmp and want to ‘cut’ it into several different
surfaces. i know i could just use clipping rects and blit the different
areas i want ‘seperate’ , but i am in the need of having the pieces distinct
sdl_surfaces.

Use “SDL_CreateRGBSurface()” to create the new surfaces you want, and
then “SDL_BlitSurface()” to copy from your original BMP into the new ones.

Or, you can just use “SDL_BlitSurface()” to cut bits from the original
into whatever your FINAL surface is going to be.

(e.g., no middle-man '…Create…'d surfaces)
