NAME

       SDL_CreateRenderer - Create a 2D rendering context for a window.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_render.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       SDL_Renderer * SDL_CreateRenderer(SDL_Window *window, const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       If  you  want  a  specific  renderer, you can specify its name here. A list of available renderers can be
       obtained by calling

       SDL_GetRenderDriver () multiple times, with indices from 0 to SDL_GetNumRenderDrivers ()-1. If you  don't
       need  a  specific renderer, specify NULL and SDL will attempt to choose the best option for you, based on
       what is available on the user's system.

       If name is a comma-separated list, SDL will try each name, in the order listed, until one succeeds or all
       of them fail.

       By default the rendering size matches the window size in pixels, but you can call

       SDL_SetRenderLogicalPresentation () to change the content size and scaling options.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       window the window where rendering is displayed.

       name   the name of the rendering driver to initialize, or NULL to let SDL choose one.

RETURN VALUE

       ( SDL_Renderer
        *) Returns a valid rendering context or NULL if there was  an  error;  call  SDL_GetError  ()  for  more
       information.

THREAD SAFETY

       This function should only be called on the main thread.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
