💅 SDL_GetRenderViewport — get the drawing area for the current target ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_GetRenderViewport(3) page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS lineup 🎀 no cap, it's a short one but it's lowkey iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS

#include <SDL3/SDL_render.h>

bool SDL_GetRenderViewport(SDL_Renderer *renderer, SDL_Rect *rect);

🌸 DESCRIPTION

so every render target has its own viewport, right? like, its own lil personal drawing zone 💖 and this function right here gets you the viewport for the current render target. that's it. that's the whole vibe. the way it just hands you the drawing area, periodt.

✨ FUNCTION PARAMETERS

  • renderer — the rendering context. your main character, the one doing the rendering 💅
  • rect — an SDL_Rect structure that gets filled in with the current drawing area. she comes back changed, she comes back filled in 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE

returns true on success or false on failure — and if it fails, bestie, you call SDL_GetError() for more info. do not skip that step, i'm begging 🙈

🧚 THREAD SAFETY

this function should only be called on the main thread. fr fr. no side-quest threads on this one 😭

⭐ AVAILABILITY

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older... girl, upgrade 🌈
