Short: How to save an SDL surface as PNG Author: Angelo "Encelo" Theodorou, AmigaOS 4.0 compile by Spot / Up Rough Uploader: Varthall / Up Rough Type: dev/src Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.5 SaveSurf: an example on how to save a SDL surface in PNG Copyright (C) 2006 Angelo "Encelo" Theodorou Info ---- A quick and dirty example on how to save a SDL surface (loaded with SDL_image) in a PNG image using libpng. It is *heavy* inspired by this post: http://www.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl/2001-May/036068.html, written by Darren Grant in 2001 and meant to be a SDL_image patch. Requirements ------------ - libSDL - SDL_image - libpng Compiling --------- $gcc savesurf.c -o savesurf -lSDL -lSDL_image -lpng or $make Notes ----- This program is part of "Mars, Land of No Mercy" SDL examples, you can find other examples on http://marsnomercy.org/sdl_ex.php. The savescreen version shows how to make a screenshot of the screen blitting it first on an output surface, then saving it.
