SDL_RenderClipEnabled(3)

💖 SDL_RenderClipEnabled(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS section of the manual, and today's main character is SDL_RenderClipEnabled — she's here to tell you whether clipping is turned on for the render target you're working with. slay. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_RenderClipEnabled — get whether clipping is enabled on the given render target. yes that's literally her whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_render.h>

bool SDL_RenderClipEnabled(SDL_Renderer *renderer);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓: every single render target has its own clip rectangle. like, her own personal little boundary, no sharing, no borrowing, no "but I thought we had the same cliprect" drama. each one is independent, periodt.

what this function does is check the cliprect for the current render target. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. she looks at the cliprect of whatever render target is current right now and tells you if clipping is enabled there 💖

---

💜 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 💜

• renderer — the rendering context. that's your girl, the renderer you're asking about 🫶

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

• returns true if clipping is enabled, or false if it's not 🔥

and if you're sitting there like "hmm, but what went wrong" — call SDL_GetError() for more information. she'll tell you the whole story, no cap 👑

---

💀 THREAD SAFETY 💀

this function should only be called on the main thread. do not try to be cute and call her from a worker thread, bestie, she is not about that life 😭

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, no she's not there, don't @ her 🙈

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

• SDL_GetRenderClipRect(3)
• SDL_SetRenderClipRect(3)

like, obviously, the getter and the setter. the whole cliprect friend group. iykyk 💅
