3.2.14 IMG_LoadPNG_RW

SDL_Surface *IMG_LoadPNG_RW(SDL_RWops *src)

src

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

Load src as a PNG image for use as a surface, if PNG support is compiled into the SDL_image library.
Note: If the image format loader requires initialization, it will attempt to do that the first time it is needed if you have not already called IMG_Init to load support for your image format.

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

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