SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h"
SDL_Surface *SDL_DisplayFormat(SDL_Surface *surface);
DESCRIPTION
This function takes a surface and copies it to a new sur-
face of the pixel format and colors of the video frame-
buffer, suitable for fast blitting onto the display sur-
face. It calls SDL_ConvertSurface
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.
If you want an alpha channel, see SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha.
RETURN VALUE

NULL
