.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_Surface *\fBSDL_DisplayFormatAlpha\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function takes a surface and copies it to a new surface of the pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer plus an alpha channel, suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface\&. It calls \fISDL_ConvertSurface\fR
.PP
If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before calling this function\&.

.PP
This function can be used to convert a colourkey to an alpha channel, if the \fBSDL_SRCCOLORKEY\fP flag is set on the surface\&. The generated surface will then be transparent (alpha=0) where the pixels match the colourkey, and opaque (alpha=255) elsewhere\&.
