.SH "NAME"
SDL_MapRGBA \- Map a RGBA color value to a pixel format\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBUint32 \fBSDL_MapRGBA\fP\fR(\fBSDL_PixelFormat *fmt, Uint8 r, Uint8 g, Uint8 b, Uint8 a\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Maps the RGBA color value to the specified pixel format and returns the pixel value as a 32-bit int\&.
.PP
If the format has a palette (8-bit) the index of the closest matching color in the palette will be returned\&.
.PP
If the specified pixel format has no alpha component the alpha value will be ignored (as it will be in formats with a palette)\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
A pixel value best approximating the given RGBA color value for a given pixel format\&. If the pixel format bpp (color depth) is less than 32-bpp then the unused upper bits of the return value can safely be ignored (e\&.g\&., with a 16-bpp format the return value can be assigned to a \fBUint16\fP, and similarly a \fBUint8\fP for an 8-bpp format)\&.

Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g. man -k SDL_ |grep Video After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages. After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space. After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL with SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL everything works fine. After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a man -k SDL_ and SDL_Init is listed in the output. --HG-- branch : SDL-1.2 extra : convert_revision : svn%3Ac70aab31-4412-0410-b14c-859654838e24/branches/SDL-1.2%402660
