3.2.11 IMG_LoadGIF_RW

SDL_Surface *IMG_LoadGIF_RW(SDL_RWops *src)

src

The source SDL_RWops as a pointer. The GIF image is loaded from this.

Load src as a GIF image for use as a surface, if GIF support is compiled into the SDL_image library.

Returns: a pointer to the image as a new SDL_Surface. NULL is returned on errors, like if GIF is not supported, or a read error.

// load sample.gif into image SDL_Surface *image; SDL_RWops *rwop; rwop=SDL_RWFromFile("sample.gif", "rb"); image=IMG_LoadGIF_RW(rwop); if(!image) { printf("IMG_LoadGIF_RW: %s\n", IMG_GetError()); // handle error }
