18.TP 20
19\fBformat\fR
20Overlay format (see below)
21.TP 20
22\fBw, h\fR
23Width and height of overlay
24.TP 20
25\fBplanes\fR
26Number of planes in the overlay\&. Usually either 1 or 3
27.TP 20
28\fBpitches\fR
29An array of pitches, one for each plane\&. Pitch is the length of a row in bytes\&.
30.TP 20
31\fBpixels\fR
32An array of pointers to teh data of each plane\&. The overlay should be locked before these pointers are used\&.
33.TP 20
34\fBhw_overlay\fR
35This will be set to 1 if the overlay is hardware accelerated\&.
36.SH "DESCRIPTION"
37.PP
38A \fBSDL_Overlay\fR is similar to a \fI\fBSDL_Surface\fR\fR except it stores a YUV overlay\&. All the fields are read only, except for \fBpixels\fR which should be \fIlocked\fR before use\&. The \fBformat\fR field stores the format of the overlay which is one of the following:
