💅 SDL_PIXELORDER 💅

okay bestie, welcome to SDL_PIXELORDER — a whole macro from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS crew whose entire job is telling you what order your pixels are in. yes really. that's the gig. and honestly? she ate. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_PIXELORDER — a macro to retrieve the order of an SDL_PixelFormat. that's it, that's the whole thing, and she does it flawlessly no cap 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_pixels.h>

#define SDL_PIXELORDER(format)   (((format) >> 20) & 0x0F)

look at her. one line. shifting and masking like a boss. main character energy fr fr 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, the value you get back is usually one from the SDL_BitmapOrder, SDL_PackedOrder, or SDL_ArrayOrder enumerations — which one you're looking at depends on the format type, iykyk. 🧚

lowkey reminder: it's a macro, not a function — so there's no pointer to take, no address to grab, just vibes and bit-shifting 😭💀
