# SDL\_ISPIXELFORMAT\_FLOAT(3)

A macro to determine if an SDL\_PixelFormat is a floating point format.

## NAME

SDL\_ISPIXELFORMAT\_FLOAT - A macro to determine if an  **SDL\_PixelFormat**\
  is a floating point format.

## HEADER FILE

## SYNOPSIS

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

**#define SDL\_ISPIXELFORMAT\_FLOAT(format)    .BI** *(!SDL\_ISPIXELFORMAT\_FOURCC(format)***&&***.BI*       **((SDL\_PIXELTYPE(format) == SDL\_PIXELTYPE\_ARRAYF16) \|\| .BI** *(SDL\_PIXELTYPE(format)***==***SDL\_PIXELTYPE\_ARRAYF32)))*

## DESCRIPTION

Note that this macro double-evaluates its parameter, so do not use expressions with side-effects here.
