# ggiCrossBlit(3)

Copy a rectangular area between two visuals

## NAME

**ggiCrossBlit** - Copy a rectangular area between two visuals

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <ggi/ggi.h>
int ggiCrossBlit(ggi_visual_t src, int sx, int sy, int w, int h,
                 ggi_visual_t dst, int dx, int dy);
```

## DESCRIPTION

Blits a rectangular memory area from one visual to another. It handles colorspace-conversion (though it can be quite expensive, so take care).

**ggiCrossBlit** will transfer an area from the source visual's read frame to the destination visual's write frame.

This function does not perform stretching.

## RETURN VALUE

**0** for OK, otherwise a `ggi-error(3)` code.
