# SDL\_FillSurfaceRects(3)

Perform a fast fill of a set of rectangles with a specific color.

## NAME

SDL\_FillSurfaceRects - Perform a fast fill of a set of rectangles with a specific color.

## HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3/SDL\_surface.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
```

**bool SDL\_FillSurfaceRects(SDL\_Surface \*dst, const SDL\_Rect \*rects, int count, Uint32 color);**

## DESCRIPTION

**color** should be a pixel of the format used by the surface, and can be generated by  **SDL\_MapRGB** () or  **SDL\_MapRGBA** (). If the color value contains an alpha component then the destination is simply filled with that alpha information, no blending takes place.

If there is a clip rectangle set on the destination (set via

**SDL\_SetSurfaceClipRect** ()), then this function will fill based on the intersection of the clip rectangle and **rect** .

## FUNCTION PARAMETERS

- *dst*

  the  **SDL\_Surface**\
    structure that is the drawing target.

- *rects*

  an array of  **SDL\_Rects**\
    representing the rectangles to fill.

- *count*

  the number of rectangles in the array.

- *color*

  the color to fill with.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns true on success or false on failure; call

**SDL\_GetError** () for more information.

## THREAD SAFETY

This function is not thread safe.

## AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
