>Description</H2
><P
>This function takes a surface and copies it to a new surface of the
pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer plus an alpha channel,
suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface. It calls
<A
HREF="sdlconvertsurface.html"
>SDL_ConvertSurface</A
></P
><P
>If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit
acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before
calling this function.</P
><P
>This function can be used to convert a colourkey to an alpha channel,
if the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_SRCCOLORKEY</TT
> flag is set on the surface.
The generated surface will then be transparent (alpha=0) where the
pixels match the colourkey, and opaque (alpha=255) elsewhere.</P
