SDL_Rect(3)

✨ SDL_Rect(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL API Reference 💖 this one's short and sweet, it's literally just a lil rectangle, and yet she's everywhere in SDL. iykyk.

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_Rect — defines a rectangular area 🎀

🧚 STRUCTURE DEFINITION 🧚

here's the whole entire girl, no cap:

typedef struct{
  Sint16 x, y;
  Uint16 w, h;
} SDL_Rect;

look at her. four fields. perfect. iconic. 👑

🦋 STRUCTURE DATA 🦋

• x, y — the position of the upper-left corner of the rectangle 📍 like where does she start, top-left energy, main character origin point.
• w, h — the width and height of the rectangle 📐 how big she is, how much room she takes up, periodt.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so an SDL_Rect defines a rectangular area of pixels. that's it, that's the vibe ✨

and the way that she's used EVERYWHERE?? she's the one who tells SDL_BlitSurface which blitting regions to work with 🫶 and several other video functions are obsessed with her too. lowkey the backbone of the whole video pipeline, fr fr 💀
