>SDL presents a very simple interface to the display framebuffer.  The
framebuffer is represented as an offscreen surface to which you can write
directly.  If you want the screen to show what you have written, call the <A
HREF="sdlupdaterects.html"
>update</A
> function which will
guarantee that the desired portion of the screen is updated.</P
><P
>Before you call any of the SDL video functions, you must first call
<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)</SPAN
>, which initializes the video
and events in the SDL library.  Check the return code, which should be
<SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>0</SPAN
>, to see if there were any errors in starting up.</P
><P
>If you use both sound and video in your application, you need to call
<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO | SDL_INIT_VIDEO)</SPAN
> before opening the
sound device, otherwise under Win32 DirectX, you won't be able to set
full-screen display modes.</P
><P
>After you have initialized the library, you can start up the video display in a
number of ways.  The easiest way is to pick a common screen resolution and
depth and just initialize the video, checking for errors.  You will probably
get what you want, but SDL may be emulating your requested mode and converting
the display on update.  The best way is to
<A
HREF="sdlgetvideoinfo.html"
>query</A
>, for the best
video mode closest to the desired one, and then
<A
HREF="sdldisplayformat.html"
>convert</A
>
your images to that pixel format.</P
><P
>SDL currently supports any bit depth &gt;= 8 bits per pixel.  8 bpp formats are
considered 8-bit palettized modes, while 12, 15, 16, 24, and 32 bits per pixel
are considered "packed pixel" modes, meaning each pixel contains the RGB color
components packed in the bits of the pixel.</P
><P
>After you have initialized your video mode, you can take the surface that was
returned, and write to it like any other framebuffer, calling the update
routine as you go.</P
><P
>When you have finished your video access and are ready to quit your
application, you should call "<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>SDL_Quit()</SPAN
>" to shutdown the
video and events.</P
