I was curious if there was a built-in way to mask a surface and then blit it. Basically, say I have a font or an image, and it is black and white – nothing else. I want to be able to mask the image (say with color 255,0,128, so I have a kind of dark red-magenta), and then blit it. Is there a way that is built in? If not, then am I basically just needing to write my own specialized Blit function to do this? Or if anyone’s already done this and is kind and doesn’t mind divulging some open-source code, that’d be pretty cool too!_________________________________________________________________

If it’s a paletted image, you can set its palette before blitting. If
it’s not, you’re in for a fun time…

Hey Taylor,
There are at least two ways about this. If you are restricting yourself to a single-color swap like black for dark magenta, you should use a colorkeyed surface:
SDL_Surface* colorSwapSingle(SDL_Surface* surface, Uint32 oldColor, Uint32 newColor)
{
SDL_SetColorKey(surface, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, oldColor);
#if SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN
SDL_Surface* result = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,surface->w,surface->h,32, 0xFF000000, 0x00FF0000, 0x0000FF00, 0x000000FF);
#else
SDL_Surface* result = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,surface->w,surface->h,32, 0x000000FF, 0x0000FF00, 0x00FF0000, 0xFF000000);
#endif
SDL_FillRect(result, NULL, newColor);
SDL_BlitSurface(surface, NULL, result, NULL);
return result;
}
Otherwise, attached is some code for a very slow blitter that you can tweak to fit your needs. I think I included all the code you need. It’s all in SPriG at http://pubpages.unh.edu/~jmb97 in case you’re interested in that. If there are any problems, just tell me.

Oops,
That surface creation part of the function in my last email should be generalized like so:
SDL_Surface* colorSwapSingle(SDL_Surface* surface, Uint32 oldColor, Uint32 newColor)
{
SDL_SetColorKey(surface, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, oldColor);
#if SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN
SDL_Surface* result =
SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,surface->w,surface->h,surface->format->BytesPerPixel, surface->format->Rmask, surface->format->Gmask, surface->format->Bmask, surface->format->Amask);
#else
SDL_Surface* result =
SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,surface->w,surface->h,surface->format->BytesPerPixel, surface->format->Rmask, surface->format->Gmask, surface->format->Bmask, surface->format->Amask);
#endif
SDL_FillRect(result, NULL, newColor);
SDL_BlitSurface(surface, NULL, result, NULL);
return result;
}
