096d8dc8 330<p><strong>Note 1</strong>: Use <code>SDL_SWSURFACE</code> if you plan on doing per-pixel manipulations, or blit surfaces with alpha channels, and require a high framerate.
331When you use hardware surfaces (by passing the flag <code>SDL_HWSURFACE</code> as parameter), SDL copies the surfaces from video memory to system memory
7067312b 332when you lock them, and back when you unlock them. This can cause a major performance hit. Be aware that you may request a hardware surface,
333but receive a software surface because the video driver doesn't support hardware surface. Many platforms can only provide a hardware surface
096d8dc8 334when using <code>SDL_FULLSCREEN</code>. The <code>SDL_HWSURFACE</code> flag is best used when the surfaces you'll be blitting can also be stored in video memory.</p>
335<p><strong>Note 2</strong>: If you want to control the position on the screen when creating a windowed surface, you may do so by setting the environment
336variables <code>SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED=center</code> or <code>SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS=x,y</code>. You can also set them via <code>SDL::putenv</code>.</p>
337<p><strong>Note 3</strong>: This function should be called in the main thread of your application.</p>
338<p><strong>User note 1</strong>: Some have found that enabling OpenGL attributes like <code>SDL_GL_STENCIL_SIZE</code> (the stencil buffer size) before the video mode has
7067312b 339been set causes the application to simply ignore those attributes, while enabling attributes after the video mode has been set works fine.</p>
096d8dc8 340<p><strong>User note 2</strong>: Also note that, in Windows, setting the video mode resets the current OpenGL context. You must execute again the OpenGL
7067312b 341initialization code (set the clear color or the shade model, or reload textures, for example) after calling SDL::set_video_mode. In Linux,
096d8dc8 342however, it works fine, and the initialization code only needs to be executed after the first call to
343<a href="#set_video_mode_width_height_bpp_flag">SDL::Video::set_video_mode</a> (although there is no harm in executing the initialization code after
344each call to <a href="#set_video_mode_width_height_bpp_flag">SDL::Video::set_video_mode</a>, for example for a multiplatform application). </p>

457<p><code>set_alpha</code> is used for setting the per-surface alpha value and/or enabling and disabling alpha blending.</p>
b968d0e8 458<p>The surface parameter specifies which SDL::surface whose alpha attributes you wish to adjust.

461flags can be an OR'd combination of these two options, one of these options or <code>0</code>.
462If <code>SDL_SRCALPHA</code> is not passed as a flag then all alpha information is ignored when blitting the surface.
b968d0e8 463The alpha parameter is the per-surface alpha value; a surface need not have an alpha channel to use per-surface alpha and blitting can
878ae663 464still be accelerated with <code>SDL_RLEACCEL</code>.</p>
465<p><strong>Note</strong>: The per-surface alpha value of 128 is considered a special case and is optimised, so it's much faster than other per-surface values.</p>

878ae663 510<p><strong>Note</strong>: When blitting, the presence or absence of <code>SDL_SRCALPHA</code> is relevant only on the source surface, not the destination.
511<strong>Note</strong>: Note that RGBA-&gt;RGBA blits (with <code>SDL_SRCALPHA</code> set) keep the alpha of the destination surface. This means that you cannot compose
b968d0e8 512two arbitrary RGBA surfaces this way and get the result you would expect from &quot;overlaying&quot; them; the destination alpha will work as a mask.</p>

162a0989 782<p>On hardware that supports double-buffering, this function sets up a flip and returns.
783The hardware will wait for vertical retrace, and then swap video buffers before the next video surface blit or lock will return.
904171e2 784On hardware that doesn't support double-buffering or if <code>SDL_SWSURFACE</code> was set, this is equivalent to calling

7067312b 786<p>A software screen surface is also updated automatically when parts of a SDL window are redrawn, caused by overlapping windows or by

7067312b 1102<p>Returns the address of the GL function proc, or NULL if the function is not found. If the GL library is loaded at runtime, with
8d3da0de 1103<code>SDL::Video::GL_load_library</code>, then all GL functions must be retrieved this way. Usually this is used to retrieve function pointers to OpenGL
1104extensions. Note that this function needs an OpenGL context to function properly, so it should be called after <code>SDL::Video::set_video_mode</code>
1105has been called (with the <code>SDL_OPENGL</code> flag).</p>
1106<p>It returns undef if the function is not found.</p>
1107<p>Example:</p>
1108<pre> my $has_multitexture = 1;
1109
1110 # Get function pointer
1111 $gl_active_texture_ARB_ptr = SDL::Video::GL_get_proc_address(&quot;glActiveTextureARB&quot;);
