NAME

SDL_SetTextureAlphaMod - Set an additional alpha value multiplied into render copy operations.

SYNOPSIS

#include <SDL3/SDL_render.h>

bool SDL_SetTextureAlphaMod(SDL_Texture *texture, Uint8 alpha);

DESCRIPTION

When this texture is rendered, during the copy operation the source alpha value is modulated by this alpha value according to the following formula:

srcA = srcA * (alpha / 255)

Alpha modulation is not always supported by the renderer; it will return false if alpha modulation is not supported.

RETURN VALUE
