3.2.18 IMG_ReadXPMFromArray

SDL_Surface *IMG_ReadXPMFromArray(char **xpm)

xpm

The source xpm data. The XPM image is loaded from this. XPM files are C header files that define a char **variable, that variable name is what you use here.

Load xpm as a XPM image for use as a surface, if XPM 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 XPM is not supported, or a read error.

// load sample.xpm into image #include "sample.xpm" SDL_Surface *image; image=IMG_ReadXPMFromArray(sample_xpm); if(!image) { printf("IMG_ReadXPMFromArray: %s\n", IMG_GetError()); // handle error }
