SDL_GetRGBA - Get RGBA values from a pixel in the specified pixel format.

#include “SDL.h”

void SDL_GetRGBA*(*Uint32 pixel, SDL_PixelFormat *fmt, Uint8 *r, Uint8 *g, Uint8 *b, Uint8 *a);

Get RGBA component values from a pixel stored in the specified pixel format.

This function uses the entire 8-bit [0..255] range when converting color components from pixel formats with less than 8-bits per RGB component (e.g., a completely white pixel in 16-bit RGB565 format would return [0xff, 0xff, 0xff] not [0xf8, 0xfc, 0xf8]).

If the surface has no alpha component, the alpha will be returned as 0xff (100% opaque).
