<div id="DESCRIPTION_CONTENT">
<p>A <code>SDL_Overlay</code> allows for video rendering on an <code>SDL_Surface</code> which is a display.  </p>
<p>The term 'overlay' is a misnomer since, unless the overlay is created in hardware, the contents for the display surface underneath the area where the overlay is shown will be overwritten when the overlay is displayed.</p>

<p>The constructor creates a SDL::Overlay of the specified width, height and format (see <code>YUV_Flags</code> list below of available formats), for the provided display.</p>
<p>Note the 'display' argument needs to actually be the surface created by <code>SDL::Video::SetVideoMode</code> otherwise this function will segfault. </p>
